SECTION 2.02. Declaration of Trust.

The Amended and Restated Company Declaration of Trust, including the terms of the Surviving Special Preferred Stock set forth on Exhibit A-1 (the “Amended and Restated Declaration”), shall be the declaration of trust of the Surviving Entity as of the Effective Time, until thereafter amended or supplemented as provided therein or by Law (the “Surviving Declaration of Trust”).

SECTION 2.04. Effective Time.

(a) At the Closing, NRT and the Company shall duly execute and file articles of merger (the “Articles of Merger”) with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland (the “SDAT”) in accordance with the MGCL and Maryland REIT Law. The Articles of Merger shall include, among other things, any amendments to the declaration of trust of the Company to be effected as part of the REIT Merger and the change of Company name from “Lexington Corporate Properties Trust” to “Lexington Realty Trust.” The REIT Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger have been accepted for record by the SDAT, or such later time which the parties hereto shall have agreed upon and designated in the Articles of Merger in accordance with the MGCL and Maryland REIT Law as the effective time of the REIT Merger, but not to exceed thirty (30) days after the Articles of Merger are accepted for record by the SDAT (the “Effective Time”).

SECTION 2.05. Closing.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER

SECTION 3.01. Conversion of NRT Common Stock.

As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the REIT Merger and without any action on the part of the holders of any capital stock described below:

(a) Subject to Section 3.04, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of NRT, par value $.01 per share (“NRT Common Stock”), shall be converted into the right to receive .80 Company Common Shares (the “Exchange Ratio”, and the Company Common Shares to be issued for shares of NRT Common Stock being herein referred to as the “Common Conversion Consideration”). All such shares of NRT Common Stock, when so converted, shall be retired, shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, and the holder of a certificate (“NRT Stock Certificate”) that, immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares of NRT Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon the surrender of such NRT Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 3.02: (A) the Common Conversion Consideration and (B) cash in lieu of fractional Company Common Shares under Section 3.04 (the “de minimis Shares”), in each case without interest (collectively, the “REIT Merger Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date hereof and the Effective Time the Company Common Shares or shares of NRT Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares or a different class, because of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares.

(b) The REIT Merger shall not affect any of the Company Common Shares or any other share of beneficial interest of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. All such beneficial interests shall remain issued and outstanding with no change thereto.

(c) No dividends or other distributions declared or made by the Surviving Entity after the Effective Time with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any un-surrendered NRT Stock Certificate with respect to the applicable REIT Merger Consideration represented thereby until the holder of record of such NRT Stock Certificate has surrendered such NRT Stock Certificate in accordance with Section 3.02. Subject to the effect of applicable laws (including escheat and abandoned property laws), following surrender of any such NRT Stock Certificate, the record holder of the certificate or certificates representing the REIT Merger Consideration issued in exchange therefor shall be paid without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to the REIT Merger Consideration, and (ii) if the payment date for any dividend or distribution payable with respect to the REIT Merger Consideration has not occurred prior to the surrender of such NRT Stock Certificate, at the appropriate payment date therefor, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the surrender of such NRT Stock Certificate and a payment date subsequent to the surrender of such NRT Stock Certificate.

(d) All REIT Merger Consideration issued upon the surrender of NRT Stock Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such NRT Stock Certificates and the shares of NRT Common Stock formerly represented thereby, and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers effected on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Entity of shares of NRT Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, NRT Stock Certificates are presented to the Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

SECTION 3.02. Surrender and Payment.

(a) The Company shall authorize one or more transfer agent(s) reasonably acceptable to NRT to act as Exchange Agent hereunder (the “Exchange Agent”) with respect to the REIT Merger. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall deposit with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of NRT Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 3.02 through the Exchange Agent, certificates representing the Common Conversion Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 3.01. The Company agrees to make available directly or indirectly to the Exchange Agent, from time to time as needed, cash sufficient to pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.01. The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the applicable REIT Merger Consideration in exchange for surrendered NRT Stock Certificates pursuant to Section 3.01. Except as contemplated by Section 3.02(c), the REIT Merger Consideration shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to send to each holder of record of NRT Stock Certificates a letter of transmittal for use in such exchange (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title with respect to the NRT Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the NRT Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to NRT), and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of NRT Stock Certificates for payment therefor in accordance herewith (together, the “Exchange Instructions”).

(c) If any portion of the REIT Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the registered holder of shares of NRT Common Stock represented by the NRT Stock Certificate(s) surrendered in exchange therefor, no such issuance or payment shall be made unless (i) the NRT Stock Certificate(s) so surrendered have been properly endorsed or otherwise are in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such issuance has paid to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required as a result of such issuance to a Person other than the registered holder or established to the Exchange Agent’s satisfaction that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(d) Any portion of the REIT Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of NRT Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be returned to the Surviving Entity, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged such holder’s NRT Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 3.02 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity, as a general creditor thereof, to exchange such NRT Stock Certificates or to pay amounts to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01. If

outstanding NRT Stock Certificates are not surrendered prior to six years after the Effective Time (or, in any particular case, prior to such earlier date on which any REIT Merger Consideration issuable or payable upon the surrender of such NRT Stock Certificates would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any governmental unit or agency), the REIT Merger Consideration issuable or payable upon the surrender of such NRT Stock Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Company, NRT or the Surviving Entity shall be liable to any holder of NRT Stock Certificates for any amount paid, or the REIT Merger Consideration delivered, to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(e) If any NRT Stock Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such NRT Stock Certificate is lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Entity, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Entity may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such NRT Stock Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed NRT Stock Certificate the REIT Merger Consideration in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3.03. NRT Preferred Stock.

Each share of NRT’s special voting preferred stock (“NRT Preferred Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be converted into, and be cancelled in exchange for, one share of the special voting preferred stock of the Surviving Entity (the “Surviving Special Preferred Stock”). Each certificate evidencing any NRT Preferred Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically evidence an equivalent number of shares of Surviving Special Preferred Stock. The Surviving Special Preferred Stock shall have terms that are materially the same as the NRT Preferred Stock outstanding on the date hereof and as set forth in the Amended and Restated Declaration with respect to the Surviving Special Preferred Stock which will be filed on or before the Effective Time.

SECTION 3.04. No Fractional Shares.

No de minimis Shares shall be issued in the REIT Merger and fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a stockholder of the Company. All holders of de minimis Shares shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, an amount in cash equal to such fraction times the fair market value of the Common Conversion Consideration. For the purposes of this Section 3.04, “fair market value” means the average of the closing prices of a Company Common Share on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported in The Wall Street Journal, for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the third trading day before the Closing.

SECTION 3.05. Withholding Rights.

The Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any

holder of shares of NRT Common Stock or NRT Preferred Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the NRT Common Stock or NRT Preferred Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.

SECTION 3.06. Appraisal Rights.

No objectors’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the REIT Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 4.14. Taxes.

(a) The Company and its Subsidiaries (1) have filed all federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns required to be filed by them (after giving effect to any filing extensions properly obtained) and all such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all material respects, (2) have paid and discharged all Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns, or otherwise required to be paid, and (3) have complied in all material respects with all applicable Tax laws requiring the withholding or collection of Taxes, other than in each case, (i) such payments as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (ii) such filings, payments or other occurrences that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no currently effective or otherwise outstanding waivers or extensions of any applicable statute of limitations to assess any Taxes.

(b) Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993, the Company has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its proposed method of operation will enable the Company to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. To the Company's Knowledge, no challenge to the Company's status as a REIT is pending or is or has been threatened.

(c) The Company has incurred no liability for any material Taxes under Sections 857(b), 860(c), or 4981 of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7 (or any

applicable predecessor guidance or regulation), including any material Tax arising from a prohibited transaction described in Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, and neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has incurred any material liability for Taxes outside of the ordinary course of business other than transfer or similar Taxes arising in connection with the sales of property. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries (other than a taxable REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) has engaged at any time in any “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code. Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has engaged in any transaction that would give rise to “redetermined rents, redetermined deductions and excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code. Except as set forth in Section 4.14(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, no asset or portion thereof held directly or indirectly by the Company is subject to the rules of Section 1374 pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7 (or any predecessor guidance or regulation).

(d) Except as set forth on Section 4.14(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, there is no pending or ongoing federal audit, examination, investigation or proceeding of the Company or its Subsidiaries and there is no pending or ongoing material state, local or foreign audit, examination, investigation or proceeding of the Company or its Subsidiaries. There are no material claims or assessments pending against the Company or its Subsidiaries for any alleged deficiency in any Tax, and to the Company’s Knowledge, there are no written or oral threatened Tax claims or assessments against the Company or its Subsidiaries which if upheld would reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material cost or liability for the Company or its Subsidiaries. There are no pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances or security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever for any Taxes upon the assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries except for liens for current Taxes not yet due.

(e) Neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries has received or is subject to any written ruling of a taxing authority related to Taxes or has entered into any written and legally binding agreement with a taxing authority relating to any material Taxes. No issues have been raised in any examination by any taxing authority with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries which, by application of similar principles, reasonably could be expected to result in a material proposed deficiency or material increase in Tax for any other period not so examined.

(f) The Company does not have any earnings and profits attributable to any other corporation in any non-REIT year within the meaning of Section 857 of the Code. For all taxable years for which the Internal Revenue Service either could assert a Tax liability in respect of the Company’s status as a REIT or could assert that the Company failed to qualify as a REIT, the Company has not held, directly or indirectly, any asset (including any security) that has violated or does violate Section 856(c)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code, other than a violation which has been cured pursuant to any applicable provisions of Section 856 of the Code so as not to cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT for any such year and which has not and reasonably could not be expected to result in any material Tax liability. The Company has, together with only those entities set forth in Section 4.14(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, made a proper election to treat each such entity as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code..

(g) Except as set forth in Section 4.14(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule neither the Company nor its Subsidiaries (a) is a party to or is otherwise subject to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement, or (b) has any liability for Taxes of another person under law, by contract or otherwise except for withholding Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business that have been properly withheld but are not yet required to be deposited with a Tax authority.

(i) To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company is a “domestically controlled” REIT within the meaning of Section 897(h) of the Code and the Company is not a “pension held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code.

(j) Each “mezzanine loan,” participation or other similar debt instrument that the Company treats as a qualifying real estate asset for purposes of Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code satisfies the requirements of the safe harbor set forth in Revenue Procedure 2003-65.

(k) Each “hedging transaction,” the income from which the Company excludes in determining its gross income for purposes of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, is clearly identified pursuant to Section 1221(a)(7) and is treated as a hedging transaction (1) as defined in Section 1221(b)(2)(A)(ii) or (iii) and (2) within the meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(G) only to the extent the hedging transaction hedges any debt incurred or to be incurred by the Company to acquire or carry real estate assets.

SECTION 5.14. Taxes.

(a) NRT and its Subsidiaries (1) have filed all federal, state, local and foreign Tax Returns required to be filed by them (after giving effect to any filing extensions properly obtained) and all such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all material respects, (2) have paid and discharged all Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns or otherwise required to be paid, and (3) have complied in all material respects with all applicable Tax laws requiring the withholding or collection of Taxes, other than in each case, (i) such payments as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and (ii) such filings, payments or other occurrences that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no currently effective or otherwise outstanding waivers or extensions of any applicable statute of limitations to assess any Taxes.

(b) Commencing with its initial taxable year ended December 31, 2005, NRT has been organized and has operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code, and its proposed method of operation will enable NRT to continue to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. To NRT’s Knowledge, no challenge to NRT’s status as a REIT is pending, or is or has been threatened.

(c) NRT has incurred no liability for any material Taxes under Sections 857(b), 860(c), or 4981 of the Code, Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7 (or any applicable predecessor guidance or regulation), including any material Tax arising from a prohibited transaction described in Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, and neither NRT nor its Subsidiaries has incurred any material liability for Taxes outside of the ordinary course of business other than transfer or similar Taxes arising in connection with the sales of property. Neither NRT nor its Subsidiaries (other than a TRS within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) has engaged at any time in any “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code. Neither NRT nor its Subsidiaries has engaged in any transaction that would give rise to “redetermined rents, redetermined deductions and excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code. No asset or portion thereof held directly or indirectly by NRT is subject to the rules of Section 1374 pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-7 (or any applicable predecessor guidance or regulation). No event has

occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which presents a risk that any material Tax described in the preceding sentences will be imposed on NRT or its Subsidiaries.

(d) There is no pending or ongoing federal audit, examination, investigation or proceeding of NRT or its Subsidiaries and there is no pending or ongoing material state, local or foreign audit, examination, investigation or proceeding of NRT or its Subsidiaries. There are no material claims or assessments pending against NRT or its Subsidiaries for any alleged deficiency in any Tax, and, to NRT’s Knowledge, there are no written or oral threatened Tax claims or assessments against NRT or its Subsidiaries which if upheld would reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material cost or liability for NRT or its Subsidiaries. There are no pledges, claims, liens, charges, encumbrances or security interests of any kind or nature whatsoever for any Taxes upon the assets of NRT or its Subsidiaries except for liens for current Taxes not yet due.

(e) Neither NRT nor its Subsidiaries has received or is subject to any written ruling of a taxing authority related to Taxes or has entered into any written and legally binding agreement with a taxing authority relating to any material Taxes. No issues have been raised in any examination by any taxing authority with respect to NRT or its Subsidiaries which, by application of similar principles, reasonably could be expected to result in a material proposed deficiency or material increase in Tax for any other period not so examined.

(f) NRT does not have any earnings and profits attributable to any other corporation in any non-REIT year within the meaning of Section 857 of the Code. For all taxable years for which the Internal Revenue Service either could assert a Tax liability in respect of NRT’s status as a REIT or could assert that NRT failed to qualify as a REIT, NRT has not held, directly or indirectly, any asset (including any security) that has violated or does violate Section 856(c)(4)(B)(iii) of the Code, other than a violation which has been cured pursuant to any applicable provisions of Section 856 of the Code so as not to cause NRT to fail to qualify as a REIT for any such year and which has not and reasonably could not be expected to result in any material Tax liability. NRT has, together with only those entities set forth in Section 5.14(f) of the NRT Disclosure Schedule, made a proper election to treat each such entity as a TRS within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code.

(g) Except as set forth on Section 5.14(g) of the NRT Disclosure Schedule, neither NRT nor its Subsidiaries (a) is a party to or is otherwise subject to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement, or (b) has any liability for Taxes of another person under law, by contract or otherwise except for withholding Taxes incurred in the ordinary course of business that have been properly withheld but are not yet required to be deposited with a Tax authority.

(h) To the Knowledge of NRT, neither NRT nor its Subsidiaries is or has been a party to any “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b).

(i) To the Knowledge of NRT, NRT is a “domestically controlled” REIT within the meaning of Section 897(h) of the Code and NRT is not a “pension held REIT” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code.

(j) Each “mezzanine loan,” participation or other similar debt instrument that NRT treats as a qualifying real estate asset for purposes of Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code satisfies the requirements of the safe harbor set forth in Revenue Procedure 2003-65.

(k) Each “hedging transaction,” the income from which NRT excludes in determining its gross income for purposes of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, is clearly identified pursuant to Section 1221(a)(7) and is treated as a hedging transaction (1) as defined in Section 1221(b)(2)(A)(ii) or (iii) and (2) within the meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(G) only to the extent the hedging transaction hedges any debt incurred or to be incurred by NRT to acquire or carry real estate assets.

SECTION 5.15. Environmental Matters.

Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or as would not have a Material Adverse Effect:

(a) There has been no material storage, generation, transportation, handling, treatment, disposal, discharge, emission or other release of any kind of Hazardous Materials by, due to, or caused by NRT or any NRT Subsidiary or, to NRT’s Knowledge, by any other entity for whose acts or omissions NRT or any NRT Subsidiary is or may be liable, upon any property now or previously owned or leased by NRT or any NRT Subsidiary, or upon any other property, which would be a violation of and give rise to liability against NRT or any NRT Subsidiary under any Environmental Law.

(b) To NRT’s Knowledge, there has been no disposal, discharge, emission or other release of any kind onto the properties referred in paragraph (a) or into the environment surrounding such properties of any Hazardous Materials.

(d) There is no pending or, to NRT’s Knowledge, any threatened administrative, regulatory or judicial action, claim or notice of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings relating to any Environmental Law against NRT or any NRT Subsidiary.

NRT has previously delivered or made available to the Company complete copies of all material information, documents and reports, including, without limitation, environmental investigations and testing or analysis that are in the possession or control of any of NRT or the NRT Subsidiaries and which relate to compliance with Environmental Laws by any of them or to the past or current environmental condition of the NRT Properties.

The indemnification and advancement obligations of the Surviving Entity pursuant to this Section 7.09(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any Claim relating thereto), and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a trustee, director, executive officer or other fiduciary of the Company, NRT OP or their respective Subsidiaries after the date hereof and shall inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives.

No NRT Indemnified Party shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any actual or threatened claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation in respect of which

The Company shall have the right to defend each NRT Indemnified Party in any action which may give rise to the payment of indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall notify such NRT Indemnified Party of any such decision to defend within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of notice of any such action. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if in an action to which a NRT Indemnified Party is a party and which is indemnifiable hereunder, (I) such NRT Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, upon advice of counsel, that he or she may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with respect to any issue which may not be consistent with the position of other defendants defended by the Company in such action, (II) a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between such NRT Indemnified Party and the Company, or (III) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such action in a timely manner, such NRT Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be represented by separate legal counsel of such NRT Indemnified Party’s choice at the expense of the Company.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, for current or former directors, trustees, officers, employees or other fiduciaries of NRT, NRT OP, the NRT Advisor or any of their respective Subsidiaries the Company agrees that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of such directors, trustees, officers, employees or other fiduciaries, as provided in the NRT Articles, NRT By-laws, NRT OP Limited Partnership Agreement and the Advisory Agreement (or, as applicable, the charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or other organizational documents of any of the NRT Subsidiaries) and indemnification agreements of NRT, NRT OP, the NRT Advisor or any of their respective Subsidiaries identified in Section 7.09(b) of the NRT Disclosure Schedule shall be assumed by the Surviving Entity in the REIT Merger, without further action, at the Effective Time and shall survive the REIT Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

The provisions of this subsection (c) shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid policies have been obtained by the Surviving Entity for purposes of this Section 7.09, which policies provide such directors, trustees and officers with the coverage described in this subsection (c) for an aggregate period of not less than six years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, without limitation, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

If the party that failed to obtain shareholder approval enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal or NRT Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, within six months following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(e), then upon signing of such definitive agreement such party shall pay the other party an amount equal to the difference between $25,000,000 (the “Break-up Fee”) and the amount of the Non-Approval Expense Fee previously paid. If this Agreement is terminated by NRT pursuant to Section 9.01(c) or Section 9.01(f), then the Company shall promptly pay to NRT the lesser of (i) NRT’s actual transaction expenses and (ii) $5,000,000 (such lesser amount the “NRT Expense Fee”), and if within six months following such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal, then, upon the signing of such definitive agreement, the Company shall pay to NRT an amount equal to the difference between the Break-Up Fee and the amount of the NRT Expense Fee previously paid.

For purposes of this Section 9.03(b), if a Company Acquisition Proposal or NRT Acquisition Proposal is consummated without a definitive agreement having been executed, the “definitive agreement” shall be deemed to have been entered into upon consummation of the transaction resulting from such Company Acquisition Proposal or NRT Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, NRT and the Company expressly acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any termination that triggers the payment of the Non-Approval Expense Fee (together with any subsequent Break-Up Fee required to be paid, if any) or the Break-up Fee, such payments shall constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which NRT or Company, as applicable, would otherwise be entitled to assert against the party making such payment or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members or shareholders, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to NRT and the Company and the Subsidiaries of each. The parties hereto expressly acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any termination that triggers solely the

payment of the NRT Expense Fee or the Company Expense Fee, the NRT Expense Fee or the Company Expense Fee alone shall not constitute liquidated damages with respect to any claim for damages or any other claim which NRT or the Company, as applicable, would be entitled to assert against the party paying such NRT Expense Fee or Company Expense Fee or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets, or against any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members or shareholders, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not constitute the sole and exclusive remedy available to NRT and the Company.

(b) No dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Board of Trustees or paid or set apart for payment by the Trust at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Trust, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration, or payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall accrue whether or not the Trust has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, and whether or not such dividends are declared.

(d) Except as provided in Section (c)(3)(e) below, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (other than pro rata dividends paid in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) for any period, nor shall any shares of Common Stock or any other shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Trust (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking junior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation and except for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Article NINTH hereof), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.

(e) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series B Preferred Stock and the shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series B Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per

-5-

share of Series B Preferred Stock and such other class or series of Capital Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series B Preferred Stock and such other class or series of Capital Stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of Capital Stock for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of Capital Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred Stock which may be in arrears.

(f) Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of Capital Stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series B Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remains payable. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series B Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable.

(g) If, for any taxable year, the Trust elects to designate as “capital gain dividends” (as defined in Section 857 of the Code or any successor revenue code or section) any portion (the “Capital Gains Amount”) of the total dividends (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) paid or made available for such taxable year to holders of all classes and series of Capital Stock (the “Total Dividends”), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be in the same proportion that the Total Dividends paid or made available to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock for such taxable year bears to the Total Dividends for such taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of Capital Stock outstanding.

After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock (and the Excess Stock converted from Series B Preferred Stock, if any) will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Trust. The consolidation or merger of the Trust with or into any other trust, corporation or entity, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Trust, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Trust.

(5)

Redemption.

(a) Subject to Section (c)(9), shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable prior to June 19, 2008.

(b) Subject to Section (c)(9), on or after June 19, 2008, the Trust, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, may redeem the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption, without interest. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method determined by the Trust that will not result in a violation of the Ownership Limit. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such Series B Preferred Stock at the place designated in such notice and shall be entitled to the redemption price of $25.00 per share and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption following such surrender. If (i) notice of redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock has been given, (ii) the funds necessary for such redemption have been irrevocably set aside by the Trust in trust for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption and (iii) irrevocable instructions have been given to pay the redemption price and all accrued and unpaid dividends, then from and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption, without interest. Nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the Trust’s right or ability to purchase, from time to time either at a public or a private sale, all or any part of the Series B Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the Trust may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law.

-7-

(c) Unless full cumulative dividends on all Series B Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Trust shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (except by exchange for shares of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends and upon liquidation, junior to the Series B Preferred Stock); except that the Trust may purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock or, subject to certain provisions of this Declaration, the Trust may, under certain circumstances, purchase shares of Series B Preferred Stock owned by a shareholder in excess of the Ownership Limit.

(d) Notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Trust, postage prepaid, as of a date set by the Trust not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the share transfer records of the Trust. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the sufficiency of notice or validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series B Preferred Stock except as to a holder to whom notice was defective or not given. A redemption notice which has been mailed in the manner provided herein shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given on the date mailed whether or not the holder received the redemption notice. Each notice shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; (iii) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iv) the place or places where the certificates for shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued and unpaid dividends payable on the redemption date; and (v) that dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on such redemption date. If fewer than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

(e) Immediately prior to any redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Trust shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid dividends through the redemption date, whether or not declared, unless a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which event, notwithstanding the redemption of the Series B Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment date, (i) each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date; and (ii) each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on such redemption date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares alter the end of the Dividend Period to which such

-8-

Dividend Record Date relates through and including the Redemption Date on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

(f) The Series B Preferred Stock shall have no stated maturity and shall not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption.

(g) All shares of the Series B Preferred Stock redeemed or repurchased pursuant to this Section (c)(5) or otherwise shall be authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred Stock until reclassified into another class or series of Capital Stock.

(6)

Voting Rights.

(a) Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, except as provided by applicable law and as set forth in this Section (c)(6).

(b) Whenever dividends on any shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive quarterly periods (a “Preferred Dividend Default”), the holders of such Series B Preferred Stock (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of parity preferred stock of the Trust upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (“Parity Preferred”)) shall be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional trustees of the Trust (the “Preferred Trustees”) at the next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent meeting until all dividends accumulated on such Series B Preferred Stock and Parity Preferred for the past dividend periods and the then current dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In such case, the entire Board of Trustees will be increased by two trustees. If and when all accumulated dividends shall have been paid on such Series B Preferred Stock and all classes or series of Parity Preferred, the right of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock and the Parity Preferred to elect the Preferred Trustees shall immediately cease (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Dividend Default), and the term of office of each Preferred Trustee so elected shall terminate and the entire Board of Trustees shall be reduced accordingly. So long as a Preferred Dividend Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Trustee may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Trustee remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights described above (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of Parity Preferred). Each of the Preferred Trustees shall be entitled to one vote on any matter.

(c) So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock and each other class or series of Parity Preferred, outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting as a single class) will be required to: (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of Capital Stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of’ the affairs of the Trust or reclassify any authorized shares of

-9-

Capital Stock of the Trust into such Capital Stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such Capital Stock; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of this Declaration, whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets or otherwise (an “Event”), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock or the holders thereof; provided however, with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above, so long as the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that, upon the occurrence of an Event, the Trust may not be the surviving entity, the occurrence of such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of holders of Series B Preferred Stock, and in such case such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above. Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote with respect to (A) any increase, decrease or issuance from time to time of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust (including the Series B Preferred Stock), or (B) the creation or issuance from time to time of any additional classes or series of Capital Stock, in each case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

(d) The foregoing voting provisions of this Section (c)(6) shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds, in cash, shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.

(e) In any matter in which the Series B Preferred Stock may vote (as expressly provided herein or as may be required by law), each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to one vote per $25.00 of liquidation preference.

(7) Conversion. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall not be convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Trust or any other entity except as provided in Article NINTH hereof.

(8) Ranking. In respect of rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Trust, the Series B Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to the Common Stock and to any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust other than any class or series referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this sentence, (ii) on a parity with any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series of Capital Stock ranks on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, and (iii) junior to any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust. For avoidance of doubt, debt securities of the Trust which are

-10-

convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Capital Stock of the Trust shall not constitute a class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust.

(9) Restrictions on Transfer, Acquisition and Redemption of Shares. The Series B Preferred Stock, being Equity Stock, is governed by and issued subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Declaration applicable to Equity Stock generally, including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions (including exceptions and exemptions) of Article NINTH hereof applicable to Equity Stock; provided, however, that (i) the terms and conditions (including exceptions and exemptions) of Article NINTH hereof applicable to Equity Stock shall also be applied to the Series B Preferred Stock separately and without regard to any other series or class, (ii) the reference to the “General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland” under subparagraph (b)(4) of Article NINTH hereof shall be to the “Maryland REIT Law,” (iii) the Equity Stock into which the Excess Stock is converted in subparagraph (b)(5)(A) of Article NINTH hereof shall be shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and (iv) the Market Price of the Series B Preferred Stock for purposes of subparagraphs (b)(5) and (b)(6) of Article NINTH hereof shall be determined by the definition under Section (c)(1) of this Article SIXTH.

Dividends and Distributions.

(a) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Shares as to dividends, the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Trustees, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 6.50% per annum of the $50.00 liquidation preference per share of the Series C Preferred Shares (equivalent to the annual rate of $3.25 per share of the Series C Preferred Shares). Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from and including the Original Issue Date and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing February 15, 2004 in respect of the quarterly distribution periods ending on December 31, March 31, June 30, and September 30, respectively; provided, however, that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day.

(b) No dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares shall be declared by the Board of Trustees or paid or set apart for payment by the Trust at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Trust, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration, or payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares shall accrue whether or not the Trust has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, and whether or not such dividends are declared.

(d) Except as provided in Section (d)(3)(e) below, unless full cumulative dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart

for such payment, (i) no dividends, other than distributions in kind on the Common Stock or other capital shares ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Shares as to distributions and upon liquidation, shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment and no other dividend or distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to any shares of Common Stock, Series B Preferred Shares or shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Shares (other than pro rata dividends on Series B Preferred Shares or other preferred shares ranking on parity as to distributions with the Series C Preferred Shares) for any period, nor (ii) shall any shares of Common Stock or any other shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Shares, including without limitation the Series B Preferred Shares, be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Trust (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking junior to the Series C Preferred Shares as to dividends and upon liquidation and except for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Article NINTH hereof).

(e) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series C Preferred Shares and the shares of any other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares, including, without limitation the Series B Preferred Shares, all dividends declared upon the Series C Preferred Shares and each such other class or series of Capital Stock ranking, as to dividends, on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares including, without limitation the Series B Preferred Shares, shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series C Preferred Shares and such other class or series of Capital Stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series C Preferred Shares and such other class or series of Capital Stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of Capital Stock for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of Capital Stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series C Preferred Shares which may be in arrears.

(f) Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of Capital Stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series C Preferred Shares shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remains payable. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series C Preferred Shares will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable.

-18-

year to holders of all classes and series of Capital Stock (the “Total Dividends”), then the portion of the Capital Gains Amount that shall be allocable to holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall be in the same proportion that the Total Dividends paid or made available to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares for such taxable year bears to the Total Dividends for such taxable year made with respect to all classes or series of Capital Stock outstanding.

(4) Liquidation Preference. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Trust, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to liquidation rights, junior to the Series C Preferred Shares, the holders of shares of Series C Preferred Shares (and of the Excess Stock converted from Series C Preferred Shares, if any) shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Trust legally available for distribution to its stockholders a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of payment (whether or not declared). In the event that, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the available assets of the Trust are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Shares (and the Excess Stock converted from Series C Preferred Shares, if any) and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking, as to liquidation rights, on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares, including without limitation the Series B Preferred Shares, in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares (and the Excess Stock converted from Series C Preferred Shares, if any) and each such other class or series of shares of Capital Stock ranking, as to liquidation rights, on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares, including without limitation the Series B Preferred Shares, shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of shares of Series C Preferred Shares (and the Excess Stock converted from Series C Preferred Shares, if any) at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Trust. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares (and the Excess Stock converted from Series C Preferred Shares, if any) will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Trust. The consolidation or merger of the Trust with or into any other trust, corporation or entity, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Trust, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Trust.

(5)

Voting Rights.

(a) Holders of the Series C Preferred Shares shall not have any voting rights, except as provided by applicable law and as set forth in this Section (d)(5).

-19-

(b) Whenever dividends on any shares of Series C Preferred Shares shall be in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive quarterly periods (a “Preferred Dividend Default”), the holders of such Series C Preferred Shares (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of parity preferred stock of the Trust upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (“Parity Preferred”)) shall be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional trustees of the Trust (the “Preferred Trustees”) at the next annual meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent meeting until all dividends accumulated on such Series C Preferred Shares and Parity Preferred for the past dividend periods and the then current dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In such case, the entire Board of Trustees will be increased by two trustees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the election of any additional trustees in the manner set forth herein, all accumulated dividends are paid on the Series C Preferred Shares, the Series B Preferred Shares and all other Parity Preferred, no such additional trustees shall be so elected. If and when all accumulated dividends shall have been paid on such Series C Preferred Shares and all classes or series of Parity Preferred, the right of the holders of Series C Preferred Shares and the Parity Preferred to elect the Preferred Trustees shall immediately cease (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Dividend Default), and the term of office of each Preferred Trustee so elected shall immediately terminate and the entire Board of Trustees shall be reduced accordingly. So long as a Preferred Dividend Default shall continue, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Trustee may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Trustee remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares and Parity Preferred when they have the voting rights described above (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of Parity Preferred). Each of the Preferred Trustees shall be entitled to one vote on any matter.

(c) So long as any shares of Series C Preferred Shares remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Series C Preferred Shares and each other class or series of Parity Preferred, outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting as a single class) will be required to: (i) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of Capital Stock ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Shares with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Trust or reclassify any authorized shares of Capital Stock of the Trust into such Capital Stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such Capital Stock; or (ii) amend, alter or repeal the provisions of this Declaration, whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets or otherwise (an “Event”), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series C Preferred Shares or the holders thereof; provided, however, with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above, so long as the Series C Preferred Shares remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that, upon the occurrence of an Event, the Trust may not be the surviving entity, the occurrence of such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting

-20-

power of holders of Series C Preferred Shares, and in such case such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above. Holders of shares of Series C Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to vote with respect to (A) any increase, decrease or issuance from time to time of any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust (including the Series C Preferred Shares), or (B) the creation or issuance from time to time of any additional classes or series of Capital Stock, in each case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series C Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

(d) The foregoing voting provisions of this Section (d)(5) shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Shares are subject to the Company Conversion Option upon proper notice and sufficient Common Stock (or if the Trust has elected to make the settlement in cash, sufficient funds) shall have been deposited in trust to effect such Company Conversion Option.

(e) In any matter in which the Series C Preferred Shares may vote (as expressly provided herein or as may be required by law), each share of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to one vote per $25.00 of liquidation preference (or two (2) votes per $50.00 of liquidation preference).

(6)	Conversion.
	(a)	Conversion Rights.

(1) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section (d)(6), a holder of any share or shares of Series C Preferred Shares shall have the right, at its option, to convert all or any portion of such holder’s outstanding Series C Preferred Shares (the “Conversion Right”), subject to the conditions described below, into the number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock initially at a conversion rate of 1.8643 shares of Common Stock per $50.00 liquidation preference (the “Conversion Rate”), which is equivalent to an initial Conversion Price of approximately $26.82 per common share (subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section (d)(7) of this Article SIXTH); provided, however, that the Trust shall have the right to elect to deliver cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in lieu of shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section (d)(6). Such holder shall surrender to the Trust such Series C Preferred Shares to be converted in accordance with the provisions in subparagraphs (b) and (c) of this Section (d)(6), as applicable.

(2) In connection with the conversion of any Series C Preferred Shares, no fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued, but the Trust shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of any fractional interest in an amount equal to the fractional interest multiplied by the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately prior to the Conversion Date or the Company Conversion Option Date. If more than one Series C Preferred Share will be surrendered for conversion by the same holder at the same time,

-21-

the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on conversion of those Series C Preferred Shares will be computed on the basis of the total number of Series C Preferred Shares so surrendered.

(3) A holder of Series C Preferred Shares is not entitled to any rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock until that holder has converted its Series C Preferred Shares, and only to the extent the Series C Preferred Shares are deemed to have been converted to shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of this Section (d)(6).

(4) The Trust shall, prior to issuance of any Series C Preferred Shares hereunder, and from time to time as may be necessary, reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, such number of its duly authorized Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all Series C Preferred Shares then outstanding into such Common Stock at any time (assuming that, at the time of the computation of such number of Common Stock, all such Series C Preferred Shares would be held by a single holder). The Trust covenants that all Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Series C Preferred Shares shall upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and free from all liens and charges and, except as provided in Section (d)(6)(c) of this Article SIXTH, taxes with respect to the issue thereof. The Trust further covenants that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or Nasdaq SmallCap Market or any other automated quotation system, the Trust will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed or quoted, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed or quoted on such exchange or automated quotation system, all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares. Before the delivery of any securities that the Trust shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Trust shall comply with all applicable federal and state laws and regulations that require action to be taken by the Trust.

(b)

Company Conversion Option.

(1) On or after November 16, 2009, the Trust shall have the option to cause all of the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Shares to be automatically convened into that number of shares of Common Stock that are issuable at the Conversion Rate (as adjusted) (“Company Conversion Option”). The Trust may exercise the Company Conversion Option only if the Closing Sale Price equals or exceeds 125% of the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Shares for at least twenty (20) Trading Days in a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (including the last Trading Day of such period), ending on the Trading Day prior to the Trust’s issuance of a press release announcing the Company Conversion Option in accordance with this Section (d).

(2) To exercise the Company Conversion Option right set forth in this Section (d)(6)(b), the Trust must issue a press release for publication on the Dow

-22-

Jones & Company, Inc. Business Wire or Bloomberg Business News (or, if such organizations are not in existence at the time of issuance of such press release, such other news or press organization as is reasonably calculated to broadly disseminate the relevant information to the public) prior to the opening of business on the first Trading Day following any date on which the conditions set forth in Section (d)(6)(b)(1) of this Article SIXTH shall have been satisfied, announcing such a Company Conversion Option. The Trust shall also give notice by mail or by publication (with subsequent prompt notice by mail) to the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares (“Notice”) (not more than four (4) Trading Days after the date of the press release) of the Company Conversion Option announcing the Trust’s intention to exercise the Company Conversion Option. The Trust shall select a conversion date (the “Company Conversion Option Date”), which date shall be no more than five (5) days after the date on which the Trust issues such press release. In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the press release and Notice of a Company Conversion Option shall state, as appropriate: (i) the Company Conversion Option Date; (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each Series C Preferred Share; (iii) the number of Series C Preferred Shares to be converted; and (iv) that dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares to be converted will cease to accrue on the Company Conversion Option Date.

(3) In addition to the Company Conversion Option Right set forth in this Section (d)(6)(b), if there are fewer than 25,000 shares of Series C Preferred Shares outstanding, the Trust shall have the option, at any time on or after November 16, 2009, to cause all of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Shares to be automatically converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to $50.00 (the liquidation preference per share of Series C Preferred Shares) divided by the lesser of (i) the then prevailing Conversion Price and (ii) the Current Market Price for the five Trading Day period ending on the second Trading Day immediately prior to the Company Conversion Option Date. The provisions of Section (d)(6)(b) shall apply to the Company Conversion Option Right set forth in this Section (d)(6)(b)(3), provided, however, that (1) the Company Conversion Option Date shall not be less than 15 days nor more than 30 days after the date on which the Trust issues a press release announcing such Company Conversion Option and (2) the press release and notice of Company Conversion Option shall not state the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Series C Preferred Shares.

(4) Subject to the terms of Section (d)(6)(b)(8) of this Article SIXTH, upon exercise of the Company Conversion Option and surrender of the Series C Preferred Shares by a holder thereof, the Trust shall issue and shall deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to such holder, or to such other person on such holder’s written order (a) certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable full shares of Common Stock to which a holder of the Series C Preferred Shares being converted, or a holder’s transferee, will be entitled and (b) any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in Section (d)(6)(a)(2).

(5) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the Company Conversion Option Date so that the rights of the holder

-23-

thereof as to the Series C Preferred Shares being converted will cease except for the right to receive the Conversion Value, and, if applicable, the person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock will be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of those shares of Common Stock at that time.

(6) In lieu of the foregoing procedures, if the Series C Preferred Shares are held in global form, each holder of beneficial interest in Series C Preferred Shares must comply with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to convert such holder’s beneficial interest in respect of the Series C Preferred Shares evidenced by a global share of the Series C Preferred Shares.

(7) In case any Series C Preferred Shares are to be converted pursuant to this Section (d)(6)(b), such holder’s right to voluntarily convert its Series C Preferred Shares shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Company Conversion Option Date.

(8) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, in connection with the Trust’s election to exercise the Company Conversion Option under this Section (d)(6)(b), the Trust shall have the right to elect to deliver to holders of shares of Series C Preferred Shares in lieu of shares of Common Stock, an equivalent amount of’ cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock generally in accordance with Section (d)(6)(d) of this Article SIXTH without reference to those provisions applicable solely to a Conversion Right, including, without limitation, Sections (d)(6)(d)(4)(ii) and (d)(6)(d)(4)(iii), which are only applicable to a Conversion Right.

(c)

Conversion Right Procedures.

(1) In order to exercise a Conversion Right, a holder of the Series C Preferred Shares may convert any or all of such shares by surrendering to the Trust at its principal office or at the office of the transfer agent of the Trust, as may be designated by the Board of Trustees, the certificate or certificates for the Series C Preferred Shares to be converted accompanied by a written notice stating that the holder of Series C Preferred Shares elects to convert all or a specified whole number of those shares in accordance with this Section (d)(6)(c) and specifying the name or names in which the holder wishes the certificate or certificates for the shares of Common Stock to be issued (“Conversion Notice”). In case the notice specifies that the shares of Common Stock are to be issued in a name or names other than that of the holder of Series C Preferred Shares, the notice shall be accompanied by payment of all transfer taxes payable upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock in that name or names. Other than those taxes, the Trust shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares.

(2) As promptly as practicable after the surrender of the certificate or certificates for the Series C Preferred Shares as aforesaid, the receipt of the Conversion Notice and payment of all required transfer taxes, if any, or the demonstration to the Trust’s satisfaction that those taxes have been paid, subject to the terms of Section

-24-

(d)(6)(d) of this Article SIXTH, the Trust shall issue and shall deliver or cause to he issued and delivered to such holder, or to such other person on such holder’s written order (a) certificates representing the number of validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable full shares of Common Stock to which the holder of the Series C Preferred Shares being converted, or the holder’s transferee, will be entitled, (b) if less than the full number of Series C Preferred Shares evidenced by the surrendered certificate or certificates is being converted, a new certificate or certificates, of like tenor, for the number of shares of Series C Preferred Shares evidenced by the surrendered certificate or certificates, less the number of shares being converted and (c) any fractional interest in respect of a share of Common Stock arising upon such conversion shall be settled as provided in Section (d)(6)(a)(2) of this Article SIXTH.

(3) Each conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of giving the notice and of surrendering the certificate or certificates representing the shares of the Series C Preferred Shares to be converted (the “Conversion Date”) so that the rights of the holder thereof as to the Series C Preferred Shares being converted will cease except for the right to receive the Conversion Value, and, if applicable, the person entitled to receive shares of Common Stock will be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder of those shares of Common Stock at that time.

(4) In lieu of the foregoing procedures, if the Series C Preferred Shares are held in global form, each holder of beneficial interest in Series C Preferred Shares must comply with the procedures of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) to convert such holder’s beneficial interest in respect of the Series C Preferred Shares evidenced by a global share of the Series C Preferred Shares.

(5) If a holder of Series C Preferred Shares has exercised its right to require the Trust to repurchase shares of Series C Preferred Shares in accordance with Section (d)(12) of this Article SIXTH, such holder’s Conversion Rights with respect to the Series C Preferred Shares so subject to repurchase shall expire at 5:00PM, New York City time, on the Trading Day immediately preceding the repurchase date, unless the Trust defaults on the payment of the purchase price. If a holder of Series C Preferred Shares has submitted any such share for repurchase, such share may be converted only if such holder submits a notice of withdrawal or complies with applicable DTC procedures.

(d)

Settlement Upon Conversion.

(1) Pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section (d)(6)(d), upon a conversion, the Trust shall have the right to deliver the Conversion Value, in lieu of shares of Common Stock, in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock.

(2) The Trust can elect at any time to obligate itself to satisfy solely in cash the portion of the Conversion Value that is equal to 100% of the liquidation preference amount of shares of Series C Preferred Shares, with any remaining amount of the Conversion Value to be satisfied in cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination

-25-

of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Trust’s election. If the Trust elects to do so, the Trust shall notify holders of the Series C Preferred Shares at any time that the Trust intends to settle in cash the portion of the Conversion Value that is equal to the liquidation preference amount of shares of Series C Preferred Shares (the “Liquidation Preference Conversion Settlement Election”). This notification, once provided to holders of Series C Preferred Shares, shall be irrevocable and shall apply to future conversions of shares of Series C Preferred Shares even if such shares cease to be convertible but subsequently become convertible again.

(3) Except to the extent the Trust makes a Liquidation Preference Conversion Settlement Election, the Trust shall not be required to notify holders of shares of Series C Preferred Shares of the method for settling the Trust’s conversion obligation relating to the Conversion Value or, if the Trust shall have made a Liquidation Preference Conversion Settlement Election, the excess of the Trust’s conversion obligation relating to the portion of the Conversion Value above the liquidation preference amount, if any, until the shares of Series C Preferred Shares are submitted for conversion.

(4) If the Trust receives a Conversion Notice from a holder of Series C Preferred Shares, the following procedures shall apply:

(i) Settlement of the Trust’s conversion obligation that is equal to 100% of the liquidation preference amount of Series C Preferred Shares shall be according to the Liquidation Preference Conversion Settlement Election, if any, already made.

(ii) The Trust shall provide Notice to any holders of Series C Preferred Shares exercising a Conversion Right, at any time on the date that is three Trading Days following receipt of such holder’s Conversion Notice (the “Settlement Notice Period”), if the Trust elects to settle its conversion obligation in any method other than the issuance solely of shares of Common Stock, and such notice shall set forth the method the Trust chooses to settle its conversion obligation or, if the Trust has made a Liquidation Preference Conversion Settlement Election, the method the Trust chooses to settle the excess of its conversion obligation. In addition, the Trust shall indicate whether settlement of any excess conversion obligation will be solely in shares of Common Stock, solely in cash or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. If the Trust elects to settle the conversion obligation in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, the Trust shall specify the percentage of the conversion obligation relating to the shares of Series C Preferred Shares surrendered for conversion that the Trust shall pay in cash. Any portion of the Trust’s conversion obligation which the Trust has not decided to settle in cash shall be settled in shares of Common Stock (except that the Trust shall pay cash in lieu of issuing any fractional shares). The Trust shall treat all holders of Series C Preferred Shares converting on the same Trading Day in the same manner. The Trust shall not, however, have any obligation to settle its conversion obligation,

-26-

except to the extent the Trust has made a Liquidation Preference Conversion Settlement Election, arising on different Trading Days in the same manner.

No Notice shall be required if the Trust is settling its conversion obligation solely in Common Stock (other than cash in lieu of issuing fractional shares).

(iii) If the Trust timely elects to pay cash for any portion of the conversion obligation, the holder of Series C Preferred Shares may retract its Conversion Notice at any time during the two Trading Day period beginning on the Trading Day after the final day of the Settlement Notice Period (the “Conversion Retraction Period”); no such retraction can be made (and a Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable) if the Trust does not elect to deliver cash in lieu of shares of Common Stock (other than cash in lieu of fractional shares) or if the Trust has previously made a Liquidation Preference Conversion Settlement Election.

(iv) Settlement that is solely in shares of Common Stock of the Trust’s conversion obligation shall occur as soon as practicable, but in any event not more than three Trading Days after the Conversion Date.

(v) Settlement of any portion of the Trust’s conversion obligation, including the portion of the Conversion Value that is equal to 100% of the liquidation preference amount or the excess conversion obligation, in cash or in a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock shall occur on the third Trading Day following the final day of the 20-Trading Day period beginning on the Trading Day following the final Trading Day of the Conversion Retraction Period (the “Cash Settlement Averaging Period”).

(5)

Settlement amounts shall be computed as follows:

(i) If the Trust elects to satisfy the entire conversion obligation, including the Conversion Value that is equal to 100% of the liquidation preference amount and the excess conversion obligation, solely in shares of Common Stock (other than with respect to fractional shares), the Trust shall deliver to the holder of Series C Preferred Shares, for each Series C Preferred Share, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Conversion Rate (as adjusted).

(ii) If the Trust elects to satisfy the entire conversion obligation, including the Conversion Value that is equal to 100% of the liquidation preference amount and the excess conversion obligation, solely in cash, the Trust shall deliver to the holder of Series C Preferred Shares, for each Series C Preferred Share, cash in an amount equal to the Conversion Value.

(iii) If the Trust elects to satisfy the conversion obligation, including the Conversion Value that is equal to 100% of the liquidation preference amount and the excess conversion obligation, in a combination of cash

-27-

and shares of Common Stock, the Trust shall deliver to the holder of Series C Preferred Shares, for Series C Preferred Share:

(A) a cash amount (the “Cash Amount”) (excluding any cash paid for fractional shares) equal to the sum of: (I) the product of $50.00 multiplied by the percentage of the liquidation preference amount to be satisfied in cash, plus (II) if greater than zero, the product of (i) the amount of cash that would be paid pursuant to Section (d)(6)(d)(5)(ii) above minus $50.00 and (ii) the percentage of the excess conversion obligation above the liquidation preference amount to be satisfied in cash; and

(B) a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between: (1) the number of shares that would be issued pursuant to Section (d)(6)(d)(5)(i) above, minus (II) the number of shares equal to the quotient of (i) the cash amount pursuant to Section (d)(6)(d)(5)(iii)(A) above divided by (ii) the arithmetic average of the Closing Sale Prices of shares of Common Stock during the Cash Settlement Averaging Period.

(6) If any Trading Day during a Cash Settlement Averaging Period is not an Undisrupted Trading Day, then determination of the Closing Sales Price for that day shall be delayed until the next Undisrupted Trading Day on which a pricing is not otherwise observed (that is, such day shall not count as one of the 20 Trading Days that constitute the Cash Settlement Averaging Period). If this would result in a price being observed later than the eighth Trading Day after the last of the original 20 Trading Days in the Cash Settlement Averaging Period, then the Board of Trustees shall determine all prices for all delayed and undetermined prices on that eighth Trading Day based on its good faith estimate of the Common Stock’s value on that date.

(e)	Payment of Dividends.
	(1)	Optional Conversion

(i) If a holder of Series C Preferred Shares exercises a Conversion Right, upon delivery of the Series C Preferred Shares for conversion, those Series C Preferred Shares shall cease to cumulate dividends as of the end of the day immediately preceding the Conversion Date and the holder will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid dividends of the Series C Preferred Shares, except in those limited circumstances discussed in this Section (d)(6)(e). Except as provided herein, the Trust shall make no payment for accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series C Preferred Shares converted at a holder’s election pursuant to a Conversion Right, or for dividends on shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion.

(ii) If the Trust receives a Conversion Notice before the close of business on a Dividend Record Date, the holder shall not be entitled to

-28-

receive any portion of the dividend payable on such converted Series C Preferred Shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

(iii) If the Trust receives a Conversion Notice after the Dividend Record Date but prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, the holder on the Dividend Record Date shall receive on that Dividend Payment Date accrued dividends on those Series C Preferred Shares, notwithstanding the conversion of those Series C Preferred Shares prior to that Dividend Payment Date, because that holder shall have been the holder of record on the corresponding Divided Record Date. However, at the time that such holder surrenders the Series C Preferred Shares for conversion, the holder shall pay to the Trust an amount equal to the dividend that has accrued and that will be paid on the related Dividend Payment Date.

(iv) A holder of Series C Preferred Shares on a Dividend Record Date who exercises its Conversion Right and converts such Series C Preferred Shares into Common Stock on or after the corresponding Dividend Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such Series C Preferred Shares on such Dividend Payment Date, and the converting holder need not include payment of the amount of such dividend upon surrender for conversion of Series C Preferred Shares.

(v) If the Trust receives a Conversion Notice on or before the close of business on a Dividend Record Date or follow such Dividend Record Date but before the Dividend Payment Date therefore, and the settlement date for any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion is after the close of business on the record date for the payment of dividends for the corresponding period on such Common Stock, such holder shall be entitled to receive such Common Stock dividends upon the next payment date of dividends on the Common Stock as if it were the holder of such Common Stock on such record date.

(2)

Company Conversion Option

(i) If the Trust exercises the Company Conversion Option, whether the Company Conversion Option Date is prior to, on or after the Dividend Record Date for the current period, all unpaid dividend which are in arrears as of the Company Conversion Option Date shall be payable to the holder of the converted shares.

(ii) If the Trust exercises the Company Conversion Option and the Company Conversion Option Date is a date that is prior to the close of business on any Dividend Record Date, the holder shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the dividend payable for such period on such converted shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date.

-29-

(iii) If the Trust exercises the Company Conversion Option and the Company Conversion Option Date is a date that is on, or after the close of business on, any Dividend Record Date and prior to the close of business on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, all dividends, including accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, with respect to the Series C Preferred Shares called for conversion on such date, shall be payable on such Dividend Payment Date to the record holder of such shares on such record date.

(7)

Adjustment of Conversion Rate.

(a) In case the Trust shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while any of the Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, issue Common Stock as a dividend or distributions to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, then the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be increased by multiplying such Conversion Rate by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date and the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or other distribution; and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding at the close of business on such Record Date.

Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date fixed for such determination. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section (d)(7)(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(b) In case the Trust shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while any of the Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, subdivide, reclassify or split its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, reclassification or split becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, and, conversely, in case the Trust shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while any of the Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination or reclassification becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, such increase or reduction, as the case may be, to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision, reclassification, split or combination becomes effective, so that the holder of any Series C Preferred Share thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to

-30-

receive that number of shares of Common Stock which it would have received had such Series C Preferred Share been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event adjusted as a result of such event.

(c) In case the Trust shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while any of the Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, issue rights or warrants for a period expiring within 60 days to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock), at a price per share of Common Stock (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share of Common Stock) less than the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the announcement by public notice of such issuance or distribution (treating the conversion, exchange or exercise price per share of Common Stock of the securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into Common Stock as equal to (x) the sum of (i) the price for a unit of the security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock and (ii) any additional consideration initially payable upon the conversion of or exchange or exercise for such security into Common Stock divided by (y) the number of shares of Common Stock initially underlying such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security), then the Conversion Rate shall be increased by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect at the opening of business on the date after such date of announcement by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding at the close of business on the date of announcement, plus the total number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities so offered are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable); and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding on the close of business on the date of announcement, plus the number of shares of Common Stock (or convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities) which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock (or convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities) so offered for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion, exchange or exercise price of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities so offered) would purchase at such Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock.

Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such determination. To the extent that shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into shares of Common Stock) are not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants, upon the expiration or termination of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect had the adjustments made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable into shares of Common Stock) actually delivered. In the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the

-31-

Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if the Record Date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than such Closing Sale Price, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants, the value of such consideration if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Trustees.

(d) (A) In case the Trust shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while any of the Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock (including any such distribution made in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Trust is the continuing corporation and the shares of Common Stock are not changed or exchanged), shares of its capital stock, evidences of its indebtedness or other assets, including securities, (including capital stock of any subsidiary of the Trust) but excluding (i) dividends or distributions of Common Stock referred to in Section (d)(7)(a) of this Article SIXTH, (ii) any rights or warrants referred to in Section (d)(7)(c), (iii) dividends and distributions paid exclusively in cash referred to in Section (d)(7)(e) and (iv) dividends and distributions of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) in connection with the reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section (d)(8) applies, (such capital stock, evidence of its indebtedness, other assets or securities being distributed hereinafter in this Section (d)(7)(d) called the “Distributed Assets”), then, in each such case, subject to subparagraphs (D) and (E) of this Section (d)(7)(d), the Conversion Rate shall be increased by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such distribution by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price; and

(2) the denominator of which shall be such Current Market Price, less the Fair Market Value on such date of the portion of the Distributed Assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Record Date) on such date.

Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such distribution. In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

(B) If the Board of Trustees determines the Fair Market Value of any distribution for purposes of this Section (d)(7)(d) by reference to the actual or when issued trading market for any Distributed Assets comprising all or part of such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period (the “Reference Period”) used in computing the Current Market Price pursuant to this

-32-

Section (d)(7)(d) to the extent possible, unless the Board of Trustees determines in good faith that determining the Fair Market Value during the Reference Period would not be in the best interest of the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares.

(C) In the event any such distribution consists of shares of capital stock of, or similar equity interests in, one or more of the Trust’s subsidiaries (a “Spin Off”), the Fair Market Value of the securities to be distributed shall equal the average of the Closing Sale Prices of such securities for the five consecutive Trading Days commencing on and including the sixth Trading Day of those securities after the effectiveness of the Spin Off, and the Current Market Price shall be measured for the same period. In the event, however, that an underwritten initial public offering of the securities in the Spin Off occurs simultaneously with the Spin Oft Fair Market Value of the securities distributed in the Spin Off shall mean the initial public offering price of such securities and the Current Market Price shall mean the Closing Sale Price for the Common Stock on the same Trading Day.

(D) Rights or warrants distributed by the Trust to all holders of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase equity securities of the Trust (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”), (x) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock, (y) are not exercisable and (z) are also issued in respect of future issuances of shares of Common Stock shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section (d)(7)(d) (and no adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section (d)(7)(d) shall be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. If such right or warrant is subject to subsequent events, upon the occurrence of which such right or warrant shall become exercisable to purchase different Distributed Assets, or entitle the holder to purchase a different number or amount of the foregoing Distributed Assets or to purchase any of the foregoing Distributed Assets at a different purchase price, then the occurrence of each such event shall be deemed to be the date of issuance and Record Date with respect to a new right or warrant (and a termination or expiration of the existing right or warrant without exercise by the holder thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto, that resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Rate under this Section (d)(7)(d):

(1) in the case of any such rights or warrants which shall all have been repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted upon such final repurchase to give effect to such distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share repurchase price received by a holder of shares Common Stock with respect to such rights or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such repurchase; and

(2) in the case of such rights or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise, the Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had never been issued.

-33-

(E) For purposes of this Section (d)(7)(d) and Section (d)(7)(a), Section (d)(7)(b) and Section (d)(7)(c), any dividend or distribution to which this Section (d)(7)(d) is applicable that also includes (x) shares of Common Stock, (y) a subdivision, split or combination of shares of Common Stock to which Section (d)(7)(b) applies or (z) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock to which Section (d)(7)(c) applies (or any combination thereof), shall be deemed instead to be:

(1) a dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, assets, shares of capital stock, rights or warrants, other than such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision, split or combination or such rights or warrants to which Section (d)(7)(a), Section (d)(7)(b) and Section (d)(7)(c) apply, respectively (and any Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section (d)(7)(d) with respect to such dividend or distribution. shall then be made), immediately followed by

(2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Common Stock, such subdivision, split or combination or such rights or warrants (and any further Conversion Rate increase required by Section (d)(7)(a), Section (d)(7)(b) and Section (d)(7)(c) with respect to such dividend or distribution shall then be made), except:

(i) the Record Date of such dividend or distribution shall be substituted as (i) “the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution,” “Record Date fixed for such determinations” and “Record Date” within the meaning of Section (d)(7)(a), (ii) “the day upon which such subdivision or split becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes effective” (as applicable) within the meaning of Section (d)(7)(b), and (iii) as “the Record Date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants” and such “Record Date” within the meaning of Section (d)(7)(c); and

(ii) any reduction or increase in the number of shares of Common Stock resulting from such subdivision, split or combination (as applicable) shall be disregarded in connection with such dividend or distribution.

(e) In case the Trust shall, at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date while any of the Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all or substantially all holders of its outstanding shares of Common Stock during any quarterly fiscal period, cash (including any quarterly cash dividends, but excluding any cash that is distributed upon a reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance to which Section (d)(8) of this Article SIXTH applies or as part of a distribution referred to in Section (d)(7)(d)) in excess of the “Dividend Threshold Amounts”, then, and in each case, immediately after the close of business on such date, the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

-34-

(1)

CR1 = CRo x (SP/(SP-DI)) where,

(i) CRo = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the Record Date for such distribution;

(ii) CR1 = the Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the Record Date for such distribution;

(iii) SP = the average of the Closing Sale price per share of Common Stock over the ten (10) consecutive Trading Day period prior to the Trading Day immediately preceding the earlier of the Record Date or the ex-dividend date of such cash excess dividend or cash excess distribution; and

(iv) DI = the amount in cash per share the Trust distributes to holders of shares of Common Stock that exceeds the Dividend Threshold Amounts (with such Dividend Threshold Amounts appropriately adjusted from time to time as provided in this Section (d)(7)).

Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Record Date for such distribution. In the event that such distribution is not so made, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(f) In case the Trust or any of its subsidiaries purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer that involves an aggregate consideration that exceeds 10%. of the aggregate market value of the Common Stock on the expiration of such tender offer or exchange offer (the “Expiration Time”), the Conversion Rate shall be increased so that the same shall equal the rate determined by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction:

(1) the numerator of which shall be the sum of (x) the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding (excluding any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time and (ii) the Current Market Price of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time, and (y) the Fair Market Value of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer or exchange offer) of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time; and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding (including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Expiration Time and the Current Market Price of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time.

Such increase (if any) shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the Expiration Time. In the event that the Trust is obligated to purchase shares pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Trust does not effect any such purchases or all or a portion of such purchases are

-35-

rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such (or such portion of the) tender offer or exchange offer had not been made. If the application of this Section (d)(7)(f) to any tender offer or exchange offer would result in a decrease in the Conversion Rate, no adjustment shall be made for such tender offer or exchange offer under this Section (d)(7)(f).

(g) For purposes of Section (d)(7) of this Article SIXTH, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:

“Current Market Price” on any date means the average of the daily Closing Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten consecutive Trading Days immediately prior to such date; provided, however, that if:

(1) the “ex” date (as hereinafter defined) for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation of Current Market Price) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section (d)(7)(a), Section (d)(7)(b), Section (d)(7)(c), Section (d)(7)(d), Section (d)(7)(e) or Section (d)(7)(f) occurs during such ten consecutive Trading Days, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event;

(2) the “ex” date for any event (other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation of Current Market Price) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section (d)(7)(a), Section (d)(7)(b), Section (d)(7)(c), Section (d)(7)(d), Section (d)(7)(e) or Section (d)(7)(f) occurs on or after the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and prior to the day in question, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event; and

(3) the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation is prior to the day in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of this proviso, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day on or after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the Fair Market Value (as determined by the Board of Trustees in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of Section (d)(7)(d), Section (d)(7)(e) or Section (d)(7)(f) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date.

For purposes of any computation under Section (d)(7), if the “ex” date for any event (other than the tender offer requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section (d)(7)(a), Section (d)(7)(b), Section (d)(7)(c), Section (d)(7)(d), Section (d)(7)(e) or Section (d)(7)(f) occurs on or after the Expiration Time for the tender or exchange offer requiring such computation and

-36-

prior to the day in question, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Rate is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “ex” date, when used:

(i) with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trade regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution;

(ii) with respect to any subdivision, split or combination of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision, split or combination becomes effective; and

(iii) with respect to any tender offer or exchange offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trade regular way on such exchange or in such market after the Expiration Time of such offer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Rate are called for pursuant to this Section (d)(7), such adjustments shall be made to the Current Market Price as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section (d)(7) and to avoid unjust or inequitable results as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.

“Fair Market Value” means the amount which a willing buyer would pay a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction (as determined by the Board of Trustees, whose determination shall be made in good faith and, absent manifest error, shall be final and binding on holders of the Series C Preferred Shares).

“Record Date” means, with respect to any dividend, distribution or other transaction or event in which the holders of Common Stock have the right to receive any cash, securities or other property or in which the Common Stock (or other applicable security) is exchanged for or converted into any combination of cash, securities or other property, the date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such cash, securities or other property (whether such date is fixed by the Board of Trustees or by statute, contract or otherwise).

(h) The Trust shall be entitled to make such additional increases in the Conversion Rate, in addition to those required by Section (d)(7)(a), Section (d)(7)(b), Section (d)(7)(c), Section (d)(7)(d), Section (d)(7)(e) or Section (d)(7)(f), if the Board of Trustees determines that it is advisable, in order that any dividend or distribution of Common Stock, any subdivision, reclassification or combination of Common Stock or any issuance of rights or warrants referred to above, or any event treated as such for United States federal income tax purposes, shall not be taxable to the holders of Common Stock for United States federal income tax purposes or to diminish any such tax.

-37-

(i) To the extent permitted by law, the Trust may, from time to time, increase the Conversion Rate for a period of at least twenty (20) Trading Days if the Board of Trustees determines that such an increase would be in the Trust’s best interests. Any such determination by Board of Trustees shall be conclusive. The Trust shall give holders of Series C Preferred Shares at least fifteen (15) Trading Days’ notice of any increase in the Conversion Rate.

(j) The Trust will not adjust the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section (d)(7) to the extent that the adjustments would reduce the Conversion Price below $0.0001. The Trust shall not be required to make an adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would require a change of at least one percent in the Conversion Rate. However, any adjustments that are not required to be made because they would have required an increase or decrease of less than one percent shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment of the Conversion Rate. Except as described in this Section (d)(7), the Trust shall not adjust the Conversion Rate for any issuance of our shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for its shares of Common Stock or rights to purchase its shares of Common Stock or such convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities.

(k) In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section (d)(7), the holder of any Series C Preferred Shares thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Trust other than Common Stock into which the Series C Preferred Shares originally were convertible, the Conversion Rate of such other shares so receivable upon conversion of any such Series C Preferred Share shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in subparagraphs (a) through (m) of this Section (d)(7), and any other applicable provisions of Section (d) this Article SIXTH with respect to the Common Stock shall apply on like or similar terms to any such other shares.

(l) To the extent the Trust has a rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock, the holder will receive (except to the extent the Trust settles its conversion obligations in cash), in addition to the shares of Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan unless the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock prior to the time of conversion, in which case the Conversion Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Trust made a distribution referred to in Section (d)(7)(d) above (without regard to any of the exceptions there).

(8) Consolidation or Merger of the Trust. If any of the following events occurs, namely:

(a) any reclassification or change of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination);

-38-

(b) any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or combination of the Trust with another Person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock; or

(c) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Trust to any other person as a result of which holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash) with respect to or in exchange for such Common Stock;

the Trust or the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, shall execute Articles Supplementary, a Certificate of Designation and such other necessary documentation providing that such Series C Preferred Shares shall be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property or assets (including cash) which such holder of Series C Preferred Shares would have been entitled to receive upon such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance had such Series C Preferred Shares been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance assuming such holder of Common Stock did not exercise its rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance (provided, that if the kind or amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance is not the same for each share of Common Stock in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non Electing Share”), then for the purposes of this Section (d)(8), the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property receivable upon such merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, sale or conveyance for each Non Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non Electing Shares). Such Articles Supplementary, a Certificate of Designation or other necessary documentation shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in Section (d) of this Article SIXTH and, to the extent applicable, reflect the other types of adjustments provided for in Section (d)(7). If, in the case of any such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, the stock or other securities and assets receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and assets of a Person other than the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, in such reclassification, change, merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, combination, sale or conveyance, then such Articles Supplementary, Certificate of Designation or other necessary documentation shall also be executed by such other person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares as the Board of Trustees shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The Trust shall cause Notice of the execution of such Articles Supplementary, Certificate of Designation or other necessary documentation to be mailed to each holder, at the address of such holder as it appears on the register of the Series C Preferred Shares maintained by the transfer agent, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such Articles Supplementary,

-39-

Certificate of Designation or other necessary documentation. The above provisions of this Section (d)(8) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, statutory share exchanges, combinations, sales and conveyances. If this Section (d)(8) applies to any event or occurrence, Section (d)(7) shall not apply.

(9) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever an adjustment in the Conversion Rate with respect to the Series C Preferred Shares is required:

(a) the Trust shall forthwith place on file with the transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Shares a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer (or such person having similar responsibilities of the Trust, stating the adjusted Conversion Rate determined as provided herein and setting forth in reasonable detail such facts as shall be necessary to show the reason for and the manner of computing such adjustment; and

(b) a Notice stating that the Conversion Rate has been adjusted and setting forth the adjusted Conversion Rate shall forthwith be given by the Trust to each holder of Series C Preferred Shares. Any Notice so given shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such Notice.

(10)

Notice in Certain Events. In case of:

(a) a consolidation or merger to which the Trust is a party and for which approval of any holders of Common Stock of the Trust is required, or of the sale or conveyance to another person or entity or group of persons or entities acting in concert as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Trust; or

(b) the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Trust; or

then, in each case, the Trust shall cause to be given, to the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares, at least 15 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a Notice stating:

(x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of any distribution or grant of rights or warrants triggering an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to Section (d)(7) of this Article SIXTH, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of record of Common Stock entitled to such distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined; or

(y) the date on which any reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up triggering an adjustment to the Conversion Rate pursuant to this Section (d)(7) of this Article SIXTH is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders

-40-

of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

Failure to give such Notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or validity of the proceedings described in Section (d)(10)(a), Section (d)(10)(b) or Section (d)(10)(c).

(11)

Adjustment to Conversion Rate Upon Certain Fundamental Changes.

(a) If and only to the extent a holder of Series C Preferred Shares elects to convert its Series C Preferred Shares in connection with a transaction described in clause (1) of the definition of Fundamental Change (or in connection with a transaction that would have been a fundamental change under such clause (1) but for the application of the 105% Trading Price Exception) that occurs on or prior to November 15, 2014 pursuant to which 10% or more of the consideration for shares of Common Stock (other than cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments made in respect of dissenters’ appraisal rights) in such Fundamental Change transaction consists of cash (or other property) or securities that are not traded or scheduled to be traded immediately following such transaction on a United States national or regional securities exchange or the Nasdaq National Market, the Trust shall increase the Conversion Rate for the Series C Preferred Share surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares (the “Additional Shares”) as set forth in this Section (d)(11); provided, however, in lieu of the foregoing, the Trust shall have the option to elect to adjust the Conversion Rate so that the shares of Series C Preferred Shares become convertible into shares of Public Acquirer Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of Section (d)(11)(e).

(b) The number of Additional Shares shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which such Fundamental Change transaction becomes effective (the “Effective Date”) and the price paid per share for shares of Common Stock in such Fundamental Change transaction (the “Share Price”). If holders of shares of Common Stock receive only cash in such Fundamental Change transaction, the Share Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. If holders of shares of Common Stock receive consideration other than only cash in such Fundamental Change transaction, the Share Price shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of shares of Common Stock on the five Trading Days prior to but not including the Effective Date of such Fundamental Change transaction.

(c) The Share Prices set forth in the first row of the table below (i.e., the column headers) shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to Section (d)(7) of this Article SIXTH. The adjusted Share Prices shall equal the product of the Share Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Conversion Rate immediately prior to the adjustment giving rise to the Share Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares shall be adjusted in the same manner as the Conversion Rate as set forth under the provisions of Section (d)(7). The following table sets forth the hypothetical Share Price and number of

-41-

Additional Shares to be issuable per $50.00 liquidation preference of Series C Preferred Shares:

Shares Price (in dollars)

(d) The Share Prices and Additional Share amounts set forth above are based upon a per share Common Stock price of $22.35 on December 2, 2004 and an initial Conversion Price of $26.82. The exact Share Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(1) If the Share Price is between two Share Price amounts in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Share Price amounts and the two dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(2) If the Share Price is in excess of $75.00 per share (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issuable upon conversion; or

(3) If the Share Price is less than $22.35 per share (subject to adjustment), no Additional Shares will be issuable upon conversion.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section (d)(11)(d) of this Article SIXTH, in the event of a Public Acquirer Change of Control, in lieu of issuing Additional Shares, the Trust may elect to adjust the Conversion Rate such that, from and after the effective time of such Public Acquirer Change of Control, holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to convert their Series C Preferred Shares into a number of shares of Public Acquirer Common Stock by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect immediately before effective time of the Public Acquirer Change of Control by a fraction:

-42-

(1) the numerator of which shall be (i) in the case of a consolidation, merger or statutory share exchange, pursuant to which shares of Common Stock are converted into cash, securities or other property, the value of all cash, securities and other property (as determined by the Board of Trustees) paid or payable per share of Common Stock or (ii) in the case of any other Public Acquirer Change of Control, the average of the Closing Sale Prices of shares of Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days prior to but excluding the effective date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control; and

(2) the denominator of which shall be the average of the Closing Sale Prices of the Public Acquirer Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days commencing on the Trading Day next succeeding the effective date of such Public Acquirer Change of Control.

(f) A “Public Acquirer Change of Control” means any event constituting a Fundamental Change (or that would otherwise constitute a fundamental change but for the application of the 105% Trading Price Exception) that would otherwise obligate the Trust to increase the Conversion Rate and the acquirer (or any entity that is a directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the acquirer) has a class of common stock traded on a United States national or regional securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such Fundamental Change (the “Public Acquirer Common Stock”).

(g) Upon a Fundamental Change which is a Public Acquirer Change of Control, if the Trust so elects, holders may convert their Series C Preferred Shares at the adjusted Conversion Rate described in Section (d)(11)(e) of this Article SIXTH but will not be entitled to the increased Conversion Rate described in Sections (d)(11)(a), (d)(11)(b), (d)(11)(c) and (d)(11)(d) of this Article SIXTH. Upon a Fundamental Change which is a Public Acquirer Change of Control, if the Trust elects to adjust the Conversion Rate and conversion obligation in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section (d)(11)(e), the Trust shall notify holders of Series C Preferred Shares of the Trust’s election in the notice to such holders of such transaction. As set forth in Section (d)(6), and subject to the Trust’s election right under the first paragraph of Section (d)(11)(e), holders may convert their Series C Preferred Shares upon a Public Acquirer Change of Control during the period specified therein. In addition, a holder can also, subject to certain conditions, require the Trust to repurchase all or a portion of our Series C Preferred Shares in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section (d)(12) of this Article SIXTH.

(12)

Purchase of Series C Preferred Shares Upon a Fundamental Change.

(a) In the event of a Fundamental Change, a holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall have the right to require the Trust to purchase (the “Repurchase Right”) for cash all or any part of such holder’s Series C Preferred Shares at a purchase price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Shares to be purchased plus accrued and unpaid dividends (including additional dividends, if any) to, but not including, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change

-43-

Purchase Price”). Series C Preferred Shares submitted for purchase must be $50.00 liquidation preference or an integral multiple thereof.

(b) On or before the tenth Trading Day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Trust shall provide to all holders of Series C Preferred Shares and the transfer agent a Notice of the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and of the resulting Repurchase Right. Such Notice shall state:

	(i)	the events constituting the Fundamental Change;
	(ii)	the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a holder may exercise the Repurchase Right;

	(iv)	the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;
	(v)	the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;
	(vi)	the name and address of the transfer agent;

(vii) the Conversion Rate and any adjustment to the Conversion Rate that will result from the Fundamental Change, as applicable, pursuant to either (A) Sections (d)(11)(a), (b), (c) and (c) or (B) Section (d)(11)(e);

(viii) that Series C Preferred Shares with respect to which a repurchase notice is given by the holder may be converted, if otherwise convertible, only if the repurchase notice has been properly withdrawn; and

(ix) the procedures that a holder must follow to exercise the Repurchase Right.

(c) Simultaneously with providing such Notice, the Trust shall publish a notice containing this information in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or through such other public medium as the Trust may use at that time and publish such information on its corporate website.

(d) To exercise the Repurchase Right, subject to Section (d)(12)(e) of this Article SIXTH, a holder of the Series C Preferred Shares must deliver, on or before the twentieth Trading Day after the date of the Trust’s delivery of Notice of a Fundamental Change (subject to extension to comply with applicable law), the Series C Preferred Shares to be purchased, duly endorsed for transfer, together with a written repurchase notice and the form entitled “Form of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice” duly completed to the transfer agent. The repurchase notice must state:

(i)

the applicable Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

-44-

(ii) the portion of the liquidation preference of Series C Preferred Shares to be purchased, in integral multiples of $50.00; and

(iii) that the Series C Preferred Shares are to be purchased by the Trust pursuant to this Section (d)(12).

(e) If the Series C Preferred Shares are not in certificated form, a holder’s repurchase notice must comply with applicable Depository Trust Company procedures.

(f) A holder of Series C Preferred Shares may withdraw any repurchase notice (in whole or in part) by a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Trust prior to the close of business on the Trading Day prior to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The notice of withdrawal shall state:

(i) the liquidation preference of the withdrawn Series C Preferred Shares, in integral multiples of $50.00;

(ii) if certificated Series C Preferred Shares have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Series C Preferred Shares; and

(iii) the liquidation preference, if any, which remains subject to the repurchase notice.

(g) If the Series C Preferred Shares are not in certificated form, a holder’s notice of withdrawal must comply with applicable Depository Trust Company procedures.

(h) The Trust shall be required to purchase the Series C Preferred Shares no later than 35 Trading Days after the date of the Trust’s delivery of Notice of the Fundamental Change, subject to extension to comply with applicable law (as set forth in the Notice of Fundamental Change, the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”). A holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall receive payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price promptly following the later of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date or the time of book-entry transfer or delivery of the Series C Preferred Shares.

(i) If the transfer agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of the Series C Preferred Shares on the Trading Day following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then:

(1) the Series C Preferred Shares will cease to be outstanding and dividends (including additional dividends, if any) will cease to accrue (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Series C Preferred Shares is made or whether or not the Series C Preferred Share certificate, if applicable, is delivered to the transfer agent); and

(2) all other rights of the holder will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price upon delivery or transfer of the Series C Preferred Shares).

-45-

(j) A “Fundamental Change” will be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs:

(1) The Trust consolidates with or merges with or into any person or convey, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of or lease all or substantially all of its assets to any person, or any corporation consolidates with or merges into or with the Trust, in any such event pursuant to a transaction in which the Trust’s outstanding voting shares are changed into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than (a) any such transaction where the Trust’s outstanding voting shares are not changed or exchanged at all (except to the extent necessary to reflect a change in the Trust’s jurisdiction of formation), or (b) where (i) the Trust’s outstanding voting shares are changed into or exchanged for cash, securities and other property (other than equity interests of the surviving corporation) and (ii) the Trust’s shareholders immediately before such transaction own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such transaction, more than 50% of the total outstanding voting stock of the surviving corporation; or

(2) The Trust is liquidated or dissolved or adopt a plan of liquidation or dissolution.

(k) However, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Fundamental Change will not be deemed to have occurred if either:

(1) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock for each of at least five (5) Trading Days within (A) the period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately after the later of the Fundamental Change or the public announcement of the Fundamental Change, in the case of a Fundamental Change described in 1 above; or (B) the period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Fundamental Change, in the case of a Fundamental Change described in 2 above, in either case, is at least equal to 105% of the quotient of the liquidation preference of the Series C Preferred Shares divided by the Conversion Rate in effect on each of those five (5) Trading Days (the “105% Trading Price Exception”); or

(2) in the case of a merger or consolidation described in 1 above, at least 90% of the consideration, excluding cash payments for fractional shares and cash payments pursuant to dissenters’ appraisal rights, in the merger or consolidation constituting the Fundamental Change consists of voting shares traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on the Nasdaq National Market (or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such Fundamental Change) and as a result of such transaction or transactions the Series C Preferred Shares become convertible solely into such shares of common stock, excluding cash payments for fractional shares. For purposes of the foregoing, “voting shares” means shares of the class or classes pursuant to which the holders thereof have the general voting power under ordinary circumstances to elect at least a majority of the board of trustees of a corporation (irrespective of whether or not at the time shares of any other class or classes shall have or might have voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency).

-46-

(l) In connection with a Fundamental Change repurchase, the Trust shall comply with all U.S. federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Trust to purchase the Series C Preferred Shares upon a Fundamental Change.

(m) The Trust shall not be required to repurchase the Series C Preferred Shares upon a Fundamental Change if a third party (1) makes an offer to purchase the Series C Preferred Shares in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements applicable to the Trust to repurchase Series C Preferred Shares upon a Fundamental Change and (2) purchases all of the Series C-Preferred Shares validly delivered and not withdrawn under such offer to purchase Series C Preferred Shares.

(13) Ranking. In respect of rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Trust, the Series C Preferred Shares shall rank (i) senior to the Common Stock and to any other class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust other than any class or series referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this sentence, (ii) on a parity with any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust the terms of which specifically provide that such class or series of Capital Stock ranks on a parity with the Series C Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, including without limitation the Series B Preferred Shares, and (iii) junior to any class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust ranking senior to the Series C Preferred Shares as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust. For avoidance of doubt, debt securities of the Trust which are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Capital Stock of the Trust shall not constitute a class or series of Capital Stock of the Trust.

(14) Restrictions on Transfer, Acquisition and Redemption of Shares. The Series C Preferred Shares, being Equity Stock, are governed by and issued subject to all of the limitations, terms and conditions of this Declaration applicable to Equity Stock generally, including, but not limited to, the terms and conditions (including exceptions and exemptions) of Article NINTH hereof applicable to Equity Stock; provided, however, that (i) the terms and conditions (including exceptions and exemptions) of Article NINTH hereof applicable to Equity Stock shall also be applied to the Series C Preferred Shares separately and without regard to any other series or class, (ii) the reference to the “General Corporation Law of the State of Maryland” under subparagraph (b)(4) of Article NINTH hereof shall be to the “Maryland REIT Law,” (iii) the Equity Stock into which the Excess Stock is converted in subparagraph (b)(5)(A) of Article NINTH hereof shall be shares of Series C Preferred Shares, and (iv) the Current Market Price of the Series C Preferred Shares for purposes of subparagraphs (b)(5) and (b)(6) of Article NINTH hereof shall be determined by the definition under Section (d)(1) of this Article SIXTH. The foregoing sentence shall not be construed to limit to the Series C Preferred Shares the applicability of any other term or provision of this Declaration. In addition to the legend contemplated by subparagraph (a)(l0) of Article NINTH hereof, each certificate for Series C Preferred Shares shall bear substantially the following legend:

-47-

THE TRUST WILL FURNISH TO ANY SHAREHOLDER ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE A FULL STATEMENT OF THE DESIGNATIONS AND ANY PREFERENCES, CONVERSION AND OTHER RIGHTS, VOTING POWERS, RESTRICTIONS, LIMITATIONS AS TO DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS, QUALIFICATIONS, AND TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF REDEMPTION OP THE SHARES OF EACH CLASS WHICH THE TRUST IS AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE, OF THE DIFFERENCES IN THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES BETWEEN THE SHARES OF EACH SERIES OF A PREFERRED OR SPECIAL CLASS IN SERIES WHICH THE TRUST IS AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE, TO THE EXTENT THEY HAVE BEEN SET, AND OF THE AUTHORITY OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES TO SET THE RELATIVE RIGHTS AND PREFERENCES OF SUBSEQUENT SERIES OF A PREFERRED OR SPECIAL CLASS OF SHARES. SUCH REQUEST MAY BE MADE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TRUST OR TO ITS TRANSFER AGENT.

(15) Exclusion of Other Rights. The Series C Preferred Shares shall not have any preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption other than expressly set forth in this Declaration.

(16) Headings of Subdivisions. The headings of the various subdivisions hereof are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

(17) Severability of Provisions. If any preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares set forth in this Declaration are invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other preferences or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of Series C Preferred Shares set forth in this Declaration which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision thereof shall, nevertheless, remain in full force and effect and no preferences or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision thereof unless so expressed therein.

(18) No Preemptive Rights. No holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to any preemptive rights to subscribe for or acquire any unissued shares of Capital Stock of the Trust (whether now or hereafter authorized) or securities of the Trust convertible into or carrying a right to subscribe to or acquire shares of Capital Stock of the Trust.

-48-

(e) The following is a description of the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the Special Voting Preferred Stock of the Trust:

(1) Designation and Number. A class of Preferred Stock designated as “Special Voting Preferred Stock” is hereby established. The number of shares constituting such class shall be one (1). Such number of shares may be increased only by resolution of the Board of Trustees which is approved by the affirmative vote of all of the Independent Trustees.

(2) Definitions: For purposes of this Section (e), the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Board of Trustees” shall mean the Board of Trustees of the Trust or any committee authorized by such Board of Trustees, subject to applicable law, to perform any of its responsibilities with respect to the Special Voting Preferred Stock.

“Capital Stock” shall have the meaning set forth in Article NINTH hereof.

“Effective Date” shall mean the date [the merger between Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and the Trust becomes effective].

“Independent Trustees” shall mean those trustees of the Trust who meet the requirement of “independent” under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ or other exchange on which the shares of Common Stock (as defined herein) are then listed.

“Operating Partnership” shall mean the Newkirk Master Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership of which a subsidiary of the Trust is the sole general partner, and any successor thereof.

“Partnership Agreement” shall mean the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, dated [_____________, 2006] as the same may be amended from time to time.

“Redemption Date” shall mean the date upon which a Redemption Event occurs.

“Redemption Event” shall mean either of the following: (i) the consummation of a consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction involving the Operating Partnership pursuant to which the outstanding Special Voting Partnership Units are converted or changed into or exchanged for stock and/or other securities of any other entity and/or cash or any other property; or (ii) the Voting Amount is reduced to zero.

“Special Voting Partnership Units” shall have the meaning set forth in the Partnership Agreement.

“Voting Amount” shall mean 36,000,000, subject to automatic reduction (but not increase) from time to time to the extent Special Voting Partnership Units are redeemed by the Operating Partnership pursuant to [Section 8.4A of the Partnership Agreement

-49-

or are acquired by the Trust pursuant to Section 8.4B] of the Partnership Agreement, and subject to further appropriate adjustment as set forth in Section (e)(4)(ii) of this Article SIXTH. As permitted by Article FOURTH hereof and the Maryland REIT Law, the Voting Amount, and therefore the voting power of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, as described in Section (e)(4), are dependent upon the number of outstanding Special Voting Partnership Units from time to time which constitute “facts ascertainable outside of the declaration of trust” of the Trust.

(3) Dividends and Distributions. Except as set forth in Section (e)(7) of this Article SIXTH, the holders of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any regular or special dividend payments. Without limiting the foregoing, the holders of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions declared or paid with respect to the shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of stock of the Corporation.

(4)

Voting Rights.

(i) With respect to all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, each share of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to an aggregate number of votes equal to the Voting Amount in effect on the record date for determining the holders of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust entitled to vote on such matter. The holders of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of shares of Common Stock as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Trust, and, except as expressly set forth in this Section (e)(4), the holders of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall have no other voting rights, as a separate class or other otherwise, including any rights to vote as a class with respect to any extraordinary trust action such as a merger, consolidation, dissolution, liquidation or the like.

(ii) If the Trust or the Operating Partnership shall at any time after the Effective Date subdivide or combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock or Special Voting Partnership Units, as the case may be, declare a dividend payable in Common Stock or Special Voting Partnership Units, as the case may be, or effect any similar change in its capitalization structure, the Voting Amount shall be adjusted appropriately to allow the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock, as nearly as reasonably possible, to maintain the pro rata voting rights in the Trust that such holders possessed immediately prior to any such subdivision, combination, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification or similar event.

(iii) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if the number of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock is increased and additional shares of

Special Voting Preferred Stock are issued, then at any time during which more than one share of Special Voting Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, each share of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to a number of votes equal to the Voting Amount in effect on the record date for determining the holders of shares of

-50-

Common Stock entitled to vote on any matter, divided by the number of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock which are issued and outstanding on such date.

(5)

Restrictions on Transfer.

(i) No share of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall be transferable, and no such share shall be transferred on the share transfer books of the Trust, without the prior approval of the Trust. A legend shall be placed on the face of each certificate representing ownership of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock referring to the restriction on transfer set forth herein.

(ii) Notwithstanding any terms or provisions to the contrary contained herein, the Special Voting Preferred Stock shall constitute Capital Stock and shall be subject to the provisions of Article NINTH hereof.

(6) Reacquired Shares. Any shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Trust in any manner whatsoever shall cease to be outstanding and shall become authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to class or series until such shares are once more classified and designated as part of a particular class or series by action of the Board of Trustees, and the former holder or holders thereof shall have no further rights (hereunder or otherwise) with respect to such shares.

(7) Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Trust, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any assets of the Trust shall be distributed, paid or set aside for the holders of any equity securities ranking junior to the Special Voting Preferred Stock as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, the Trust shall pay to the holders of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock, out of assets of the Trust legally available for distribution to its shareholders, the sum of $25.00 per share for each share of Special Voting Preferred Stock held by each such holder. After payment in full to the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock of the above-described $25.00 per share liquidation amount, the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Trust.

If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, the assets of the Trust, or the proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders of Special Voting Preferred Stock and the holders of Common Stock shall be insufficient to pay in full the above-described liquidation amount per share to the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock and a like amount per share to the holders of the Common Stock, then such assets, or the proceeds therefrom, shall be distributed among the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock and the Common Stock in equal amounts per share.

For the purposes of this Section (e)(7), (i) a consolidation or merger of the Trust with one or more entities, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the Trust’s assets, or (iii) a statutory share exchange shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, of the Trust.

-51-

(8) Redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Redemption Event, then, concurrent with the Redemption Event, the outstanding shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Trust out of assets legally available therefor, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to $25.00 per share of Special Voting Preferred Stock. From and after the Redemption Date, the outstanding shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of holders of such shares will terminate, except the rights to receive the cash payable upon such redemption, without interest thereon, upon surrender and endorsement of the certificates evidencing the shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock, if so required).

(9)

Rank.

(i) The Special Voting Preferred Stock will, with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, rank (a) senior to all equity securities issued by the Trust, the terms of which provide that such equity securities rank junior to the Special Voting Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust; (b) junior to all equity securities issued by the Trust, the terms of which provide that such equity securities rank senior to the Special Voting Preferred Stock with respect to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, including but not limited to the 8.05% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Trust and the 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Trust; and (c) on a parity with the Common Stock of the Trust and with all other equity securities issued by the Trust, other than those equity securities referred to in clauses (a) and (b) hereof; provided, however, that after payment in full to the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock of the $25.00 per share liquidation amount described in Section (e)(7) of this Article SIXTH, the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Trust, and such remaining assets of the Trust shall be distributed among the holders of Common Stock and any other classes or series of shares of beneficial interest ranking on a parity with or junior to the Special Voting Preferred Stock as to rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Trust, according to their respective rights and preferences and in each case according to their respective number of shares, and the holders of the Special Voting Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to share therein.

(ii) The Special Voting Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights, rank junior to the Common Stock and to all other equity securities issued by the Trust.

(iii) The term “equity securities” does not include convertible debt securities or other debt securities of the Trust which will rank senior to the Special Voting Preferred Stock prior to conversion.

(10) Maturity. The Special Voting Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption, except as provided in Section (e)(8) of this Article SIXTH.

-52-

(11) Conversion. The Special Voting Preferred Stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Trust.

(12) No Preemptive Rights. No holder of shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock shall have any pre-emptive or preferential right to subscribe for, or to purchase, any additional shares of Capital Stock of the Trust of any class or series, or any other security of the Corporation which the Corporation may issue or sell.

(f) A description of the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications and terms and conditions of redemption of the Excess Stock of the Trust is set forth in Article NINTH hereof.

(g) Subject to the foregoing, the power of the Board of Trustees to classify and reclassify any of the shares of beneficial interest shall include, without limitation, subject to the provisions of this Declaration, the authority to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of such shares of beneficial interest into a class or classes of preferred shares, preference shares, special shares or other shares, and to divide and classify shares of any class into one or more series of such class, by determining, fixing, or altering one of more of the following:

(1) The distinctive designation of such class or series and the number of shares to constitute such class or series; provided that, unless otherwise prohibited by the terms of such or any other class or series, the number of shares of any class or series may be decreased by the Board of Trustees in connection with any classification or reclassification of unissued shares and the number of shares of such class or series may be increased by the Board of Trustees in connection with any such classification or reclassification, and any shares of any class or series which have been redeemed, purchased, otherwise acquired or converted into shares of Common Stock or any other class or series shall become part of the authorized beneficial interest and be subject to classification and reclassification as provided in this subparagraph.

(2) Whether or not shares of such class or series shall have dividend rights and, if so, the rates, amounts and times at which, and the conditions under which, dividends shall be payable on shares of such class or series, whether any such dividends shall rank senior or junior to or on a parity with the dividends payable on any other class or series of shares, and the status of any such dividends as cumulative, cumulative to a limited extent or non-cumulative and as participating or non-participating.

(3) Whether or not shares of such class or series shall have voting rights, in addition to any voting rights provided by law and, if so, the terms of such voting rights.

(4) Whether or not shares of such class or series shall have conversion or exchange privileges and, if so, the terms and conditions thereof, including provision for adjustment of the conversion or exchange rate in such events or at such times as the Board of Trustees shall determine.

(5) Whether or not shares of such class or series shall be subject to redemption and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable and the amount per share payable in case of

-53-

redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates; and whether or not there shall be any sinking fund or purchase account in respect thereof, and if so, the terms thereof.

(6) The rights of the holders of shares of such class or series upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of, or upon any distribution of the assets of, the Trust, which rights may vary depending upon whether such liquidation, dissolution or winding up is voluntary or involuntary and, if voluntary, may vary at different dates, and whether such rights shall rank senior or junior to or on a parity with such rights of any other class or series of shares.

(7) Whether or not there shall be any limitations applicable, while shares of such class or series are outstanding, upon payment of dividends or making of distributions on, or the acquisition of, or the use of moneys for purchase or redemption of, any shares of the Trust, or upon any other action of the Trust, including action under this subparagraph, and, if so, the terms and conditions thereof.

(8) Any other preferences, rights, restrictions, including restrictions on transferability, and qualifications of shares of such class or series, not inconsistent with law and this Declaration.

(e) For the purposes hereof and of any amendment hereto providing for the classification or reclassification of any shares of beneficial interest or of any other charter document of the Trust (unless otherwise provided in any such articles or document), any class or series of shares of the Trust shall be deemed to rank:

(1) prior to another class or series either as to dividends or upon liquidation, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable on liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to holders of such other class or series;

(2) on a parity with another class or series either as to dividends or upon liquidation, whether or not the dividend rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation price per share thereof be different from those of such others, if the holders of such class or series of shares shall be entitled to receipt of dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective dividend rates or redemption or liquidation prices, without preference or priority over the holders of such other class or series; and

(3) junior to another class or series either as to dividends or upon liquidation, if the rights of the holders of such class or series shall be subject or subordinate to the rights of the holders of such other class or series in respect of the receipt of dividends or the amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be.

(f) The legal ownership of the Trust estate and the right to conduct the business of the Trust are vested exclusively in the Trustees and the shareholders shall have no interest therein (other than beneficial interests in the Trust conferred by their shares issued hereunder) and they

-54-

shall have no right to compel any partition, division, dividend or distribution of the Trust or any of the Trust estate.

(h) The shares shall be personal property and shall confer upon the holders thereof only the interest and rights specifically set forth or provided for in this Declaration. The death, insolvency or incapacity of a shareholder shall not dissolve or terminate the Trust or affect its continuity nor give such shareholder’s legal representative any rights whatsoever, whether against or in respect of other shareholders, the Trustees or the trust estate or otherwise, except the sole right to demand and, subject to the provisions of this Declaration, the By-Laws and any requirements of law, to receive a new certificate for shares registered in the name of such legal representative, in exchange for the certificate held by such shareholder.

SEVENTH: (a) The business and affairs of the Trust shall be managed under the direction of the Board of Trustees. The number of trustees of the Trust shall be seven, which number may be increased or decreased by vote of at least a majority of the entire Board of Trustees pursuant to the By-Laws of the Trust, but shall never be fewer than the minimum number permitted by the Maryland REIT Law now or hereafter in force.

(b) Subject to the rights of the holders of any class of Preferred Stock, if any, then outstanding, vacancies on the Board of Trustees resulting from any increase in the authorized number of trustees, or death, resignation, retirement or other cause shall be filed by a vote of the shareholders or a majority of the trustees then in office. A vacancy on the Board of Trustees resulting from removal of a trustee by the shareholders in accordance with subparagraph (d) of Article SEVENTH shall be filled by a vote of the shareholders. A trustee so chosen by the shareholders shall hold office for the balance of the term then remaining. A trustee so chosen by the remaining trustees shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders, at which time the shareholders shall elect a trustee to hold office for the balance of the term then remaining. No decrease in the number of trustees constituting the Board of Trustees shall affect the tenure of office of any trustee.

(c) Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock of the Trust shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more trustees of the Trust, the Board of Trustees shall consist of said trustees so elected in addition to the number of trustees of fixed as provided above in this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as otherwise may be required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock of the Trust shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more trustees of the Trust, the terms of the trustee or trustees elected by such holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of shareholders.

(d) Subject to the rights of the holders of any class separately entitled to elect one or more trustees, any trustee, or the entire Board of Trustees, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% of the combined voting power of all classes of shares of beneficial interest entitled to vote in the election for trustees.

EIGHTH: (a) The following provisions are hereby adopted for the purpose of defining, limiting, and regulating the powers of the Trust and of the trustees and the shareholders:

(1) The Board of Trustees is hereby empowered to authorize the issuance from time to time of shares of its shares of any class, whether now or hereafter authorized, or securities convertible into shares of its shares of any class or classes, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration as may be deemed advisable by the Board of Trustees and without any action by the shareholders.

(2) No holder of any shares or any other securities of the Trust, whether now or hereafter authorized, shall have any preemptive right to subscribe for or purchase any shares or any other securities of the Trust other than such, if any, as the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may determine and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Board of Trustees, in its sole discretion, may fix; and any shares or other securities which the Board of Trustees may determine to offer for subscription may, as the Board of Trustees in its sole discretion shall determine, be offered to the holders of any class, series or type of shares or other securities at the time outstanding to the exclusion of the holders of any or all other classes, series or types of shares or other securities at the time outstanding.

(3) The Board of Trustees of the Trust shall, consistent with applicable law, have the power, in its sole discretion, to determine from time to time in accordance with sound accounting practice or other reasonable valuation methods, what constitutes annual or other net profits, earnings, surplus, or net assets in excess of capital; to fix and vary from time to time the amount to be reserved as working capital, or determine that retained earnings or surplus shall remain in the hands of the Trust; to set apart out of any funds of the Trust such reserve or reserves in such amount or amounts and for such proper purpose or purposes as it shall determine and to abolish any such reserve or any part thereof; to distribute and pay distributions or dividends in shares, cash or other securities or property, out of surplus or any other funds or amounts legally available therefor, at such times and to the shareholders of record on such dates as it may from time to time determine; and to determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions and regulations the books, accounts and documents of the Trust, or any of them, shall be open to the inspection of shareholders, except as otherwise provided by statute or by the By-Laws, and, except as so provided, no shareholder shall have any right

-56-

to inspect any book, account or document of the Trust unless authorized so to do by resolution of the Board of Trustees.

(4) Notwithstanding any provision of law requiring the authorization of any action by a greater proportion than a majority of the total number of shares of all classes of beneficial interest or of the total number of shares of any class of beneficial interest, such action shall be valid and effective if authorized by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of shares of all classes outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, except as otherwise provided in this Declaration.

(5) The Trust shall provide any indemnification permitted by the laws of Maryland and shall indemnify trustees, officers, agents and employees as follows: (A) the Trust shall indemnify its trustees and officers, whether serving the Trust or at its request any other entity, to the full extent required or permitted by the General Laws of the State of Maryland now or hereafter in force, including the advance of expenses under the procedures and to the full extent permitted by law and (B) the Trust shall indemnify other employees and agents, whether serving the Trust or at its request any other entity, to such extent as shall be authorized by the Board of Trustees or the Trust’s By-Laws and be permitted by law. The foregoing rights of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled. The Board of Trustees may take such action as is necessary to carry out these indemnification provisions and is expressly empowered to adopt, approve and amend from time to time such By-Laws, resolutions or contracts implementing such provisions or such further indemnification arrangements as may be permitted by law. No amendment of this Declaration shall limit or eliminate the right to indemnification provided hereunder with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.

(6) To the fullest extent permitted by Maryland statutory or decisional law, as amended or interpreted, no trustee or officer of the Trust shall be personally liable to the Trust or its shareholders for money damages. No amendment of this Declaration or repeal of any of its provisions shall limit or eliminate the benefits provided to trustees and officers under this provision with respect to any act or omission which occurred prior to such amendment or repeal.

(7) Any written instrument creating an obligation of the Trust shall, to the extent practicable, include a reference to this Declaration and provide that neither the shareholders nor the Trustees nor any officers, employees or agents of the Trust shall be liable thereunder and that all persons shall look solely to the Trust estate for the payment of any claim thereunder or for the performance thereof; however, the omission of such provision from any such instrument shall not render the shareholders, any Trustee, or any officer, employee or agent of the Trust liable nor shall the shareholders, any Trustee or any officer, employee or agent of the Trust be liable to any one for such omission.

(8) Any Trustee or officer, employee or agent of the Trust may acquire, own, hold and dispose of shares in the Trust, for such individual’s account, and may exercise all rights of a shareholder to the same extent and in the same manner as if such individual were not a Trustee or officer, employee or agent of the Trust. Any Trustee or officer,

-57-

employee or agent of the Trust may, in such individual’s personal capacity or in the capacity of trustee, officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, advisor or employee of any person or otherwise, have business interests and engage in business activities similar to or in addition to those relating to the Trust, which interests and activities may be similar to and competitive with those of the Trust and may include the acquisition, syndication, holding, management, development, operation or disposition, for such individual’s own account, or for the account of such person or others, of interests in mortgages, interests in real property, or interests in persons engaged in the real estate business. Each Trustee, officer, employee and agent of the Trust shall be free of any obligation to present to the Trust any investment opportunity which comes to such person in any capacity other than solely as Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Trust, could be taken by the Trust. Subject to the provisions of Section (a)(10) below, any Trustee or officer, employee or agent of the Trust may be interested as trustee, officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, advisor or employee of, or otherwise have a direct or indirect interest in, any person who may be engaged to render advice or services to the Trust, and may receive compensation from such person as well as compensation as Trustee, officer, employee or agent or otherwise hereunder. None of these activities shall be deemed to conflict with such person’s duties and powers as Trustee or officer, employee or agent of the Trust.

(9) Except as otherwise provided by this Declaration, and in the absence of fraud, a contract, act or other transaction between the Trust and any other person in which the Trust is interested, shall be valid, and no Trustee or officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall have any liability as a result of entering into any such contract, act or transaction, even though (a) one or more of the Trustees, or officers, employee or agents of the Trust are directly or indirectly interested in or connected with, or are trustees, partners, directors, employees, officers or agents of, such other person, or (b) one or more of the Trustees or officers, employees or agents of the Trust, individually or jointly with others, is a party or are parties to, or are directly or indirectly interested in or connected with, such contract, act or transaction; provided that in each such case (i) such interest or connection is disclosed or known to the Trustees and thereafter the Trustees authorize or ratify such contract, act or other transaction by affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not so interested or (ii) such interest or connection is disclosed or known to the shareholders, and thereafter such contract, act or transaction is approved by shareholders holding a majority of the shares then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Declaration, the Trust may engage in a transaction with (a) any Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust (acting in such person’s individual capacity), (b) any director, trustee, partner, officer, employee or agent (acting in such person’s individual capacity) of any investment advisor of the Trust, (c) any investment advisor of the Trust or (d) an Affiliate of any of the foregoing, provided that such transaction has, after disclosure of such affiliation, been approved or ratified by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Trustees not having any interest in such transaction after a determination by them that such transaction is fair to the Trust and the shareholders.

-58-

(10) Any act of the Trustees or of the officers, employees or agents of the Trust purporting to be done in their capacity as such, shall, as to any persons dealing with such Trustees, officers, employees or agents, be conclusively deemed to be within the purposes of this Trust and within the powers of such Trustees or officers, employees or agents. No person dealing with the Trustees or any of them or with the officers, employees or agents of the Trust shall be bound to see to the application of any funds or property passing into their hands or control.

(11) The Trustees and the officers, employees and agents of the Trust may consult with counsel (which may be a firm in which one or more of the Trustees or the officers, employees or agents of the Trust is or are members) and the advice or opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete personal protection to all the Trustees and the officers, employees and agents of the Trust in respect of any action taken or suffered by them in good faith and in reliance on or in accordance with such advice or opinion. In discharging their duties, Trustees or officers, employees or agents of the Trust, when acting in good faith, may rely upon financial statements of the Trust represented to them to fairly present the financial position or results of operations of the Trust by the chief financial officer of the Trust or the officer of the Trust having charge of its books of account, or stated in a written report by an independent certified public accountant fairly to present the financial position or results of operations of the Trust. The Trustees and the officers, employees and agents of the Trust may rely, and shall be personally protected in acting, upon any instrument or other document believed by them to be genuine.

(12) For any shareholder proposal to be presented in connection with an annual meeting of shareholders of the Trust, including any proposal relating to the nomination of a trustee to be elected to the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the shareholders must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Trust in the manner, and containing the information, required by the By-Laws. Shareholder proposals to be presented in connection with a special meeting of shareholders will be presented by the Trust only to the extent required by Section 2-502 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

(b) The Trust reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Declaration, including any amendments changing the terms or contract rights, as expressly set forth herein, of any of its outstanding shares by classification, reclassification or otherwise, by a majority of the trustees adopting a resolution setting forth the proposed change, declaring its advisability, and either calling a special meeting of the shareholders certified to vote on the proposed change, or directing the proposed change to be considered at the next annual shareholders meeting. Unless otherwise provided herein, the proposed change will be effective only if it is adopted upon the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate votes entitled to be cast thereon (considered for this purpose as a single class); provided, however, that any amendment to, repeal of or adoption of any provision inconsistent with Article SEVENTH or subparagraph (a)(7), this subparagraph (b) or subparagraph (c) of Article EIGHTH will be effective only if it is adopted upon the affirmative vote of not less than 80% of the aggregate votes entitled to be cast thereon (considered for this purpose as a single class).

-59-

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Trustees is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal the By-Laws of the Trust; provided that any such alteration or repeal by the Board of Trustees shall require the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees at a meeting held in accordance with the provisions of the By-Laws.

(d) The Trustees shall be entitled to receive such reasonable compensation for their services as Trustees as the Board of Trustees may determine from time to time. The Trustees and Trust officers shall be entitled to receive remuneration for services rendered to the Trust in any other capacity. Subject to Sections (a)(8) and (a)(9) of Article EIGHTH, such services may include, without limitation, services as an officer of the Trust, legal, accounting or other professional services, or services as a broker, transfer agent or underwriter, whether performed by a Trustee or any person affiliated with a Trustee.

(f) The Trustees, subject only to the specific limitations contained in this Declaration, shall have, without further or other authorization, and free from any power or control on the part of the shareholders, full, absolute and exclusive power, control and authority over the Trust estate and over the business and affairs of the Trust to the same extent as if the Trustees were the sole owners thereof in their own right, and may do all such acts and things as in their sole judgment and discretion are necessary for or incidental to or desirable for carrying out or conducting the business of the Trust. Any construction of this Declaration or any determination made in good faith by the Trustees as to the purposes of the Trust or the existence of any power or authority hereunder shall be conclusive. In construing the provisions of this Declaration, the presumption shall be in favor of the grant of powers and authority to the Trustees.

(g) The enumeration and definition of particular powers of the Board of Trustees included in the foregoing shall in no way be limited or restricted by reference to or inference from the terms of any other clause of this or any other Article of this Declaration, or construed as or deemed by inference or otherwise in any manner to exclude or limit any powers conferred upon the Board of Trustees under the laws of the State of Maryland now or hereafter in force.

Legend. Each certificate for Equity Stock shall bear the following legend:

The shares represented by this certificate are subject to restrictions on transfer for the purpose of the Trust’s maintenance of its status as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to certain exceptions, no Person may (1) Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of 9.8% of the value of the outstanding Equity Stock of the Trust; or (2) Beneficially Own Equity Stock that would result in the Trust’s being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code. Any Person who attempts to Beneficially Own or Constructively Own shares of Equity Stock in excess of the above limitations must immediately notify the Trust. All capitalized terms in this legend have the meanings defined in the Declaration, as the same may be further amended from time to time, a copy of which including the restrictions on transfer, will be sent without charge to each shareholder who so requests. If the restrictions on transfer are violated, the shares of Equity Stock represented hereby will be automatically converted for shares of Excess Stock which will be held in trust by the Trust.

-64-

(b) (1) Upon any purported Transfer that results in Excess Stock pursuant to subparagraph (a)(3) of this Article NINTH, such Excess Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Trust, as Charitable Trustee of a Charitable Trust for the exclusive benefit of such Beneficiary or Beneficiaries to whom an interest in such Excess Stock may later be transferred pursuant to subparagraph (b)(5) of this Article NINTH. Shares of Excess Stock so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding shares of the Trust. The Purported Record Transferee shall have no rights in such Excess Stock except the right to designate a transferee of such Excess Stock upon the terms specified in subparagraph (b)(5) of this Article NINTH. The Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no rights in such Excess Stock except as provided in subparagraph (b)(5) of this Article NINTH.

(2) Excess Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Trust that the shares of Equity Stock have been converted for Excess Stock shall be repaid to the Trust upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be rescinded as void ab initio with respect to such shares of Equity Stock.

(3) Subject to the preferential rights of the Preferred Stock, if any, as may be determined by the Board of Trustees of the Trust pursuant to Article SIXTH of this Declaration, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of, the Trust, each holder of shares of Excess Stock shall be entitled to receive, ratably with each other holder of Common Stock and Excess Stock, that portion of the assets of the Trust available for distribution to its shareholders as the number of shares of the Excess Stock held by such holder bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock and Excess Stock then outstanding. The Trust, as holder of the Excess Stock in trust or, if the Trust has been dissolved, any trustee appointed by the Trust prior to its dissolution, shall distribute ratably to the Beneficiaries of the Charitable Trust, when determined, any such assets received in respect of the Excess Stock in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of, or any distribution of the assets of, the Trust.

(4) The holders of shares of Excess Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matters (except as required by the General Corporation Laws of the State of Maryland).

(5) (A) Excess Stock shall not be transferable. The Purported Record Transferee may freely designate a Beneficiary of its interest in the Charitable Trust (representing the number of shares of Excess Stock held by the Charitable Trust attributable to a purported transfer that resulted in the Excess Stock), if (i) the shares of Excess Stock held in the Charitable Trust would not be Excess Stock in the hands of such Beneficiary and (ii) the Purported Beneficial Transferee does not receive a price for designating such Beneficiary that reflects a price per share for such Excess Stock that exceeds (x) the price per share such Purported Beneficial Transferee paid for the Equity Stock in the purported Transfer that resulted in the Excess Stock, or (y) if the Purported Beneficial Transferee did not give value for such shares of Excess Stock (such as through a gift, devise or other transaction), a price per share equal to the Market Price on the date of the purported Transfer that resulted in the Excess Stock. Upon such transfer of an interest in the Charitable Trust, the corresponding shares of Excess Stock in the

-65-

Charitable Trust shall be automatically converted for an equal number of shares of Equity Stock, and such shares of Equity Stock shall be transferred of record to the Beneficiary of the interest in the Charitable Trust designated by the Purported Record Transferee as described above if such Equity Stock would not be Excess Stock in the hands of such Beneficiary. Prior to any transfer of any interest in the Charitable Trust, the Purported Record Transferee must give advance notice to the Trust of the intended transfer, and the Trust must have waived in writing its purchase rights under subparagraph (b)(6) of this Article NINTH; (B) notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Purported Beneficial Transferee receives a price for designating a Beneficiary of an interest in the Charitable Trust that exceeds the amounts allowable under subparagraph (b)(5)(A) of this Article NINTH, such Purported Beneficial Transferee shall pay, or cause the Beneficiary of the interest in the Charitable Trust to pay, such excess to the Trust.

(6) Shares of Excess Stock shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Trust, or its designee at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per share in the transaction that created such Excess Stock (or, in the case of devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Trust, or its designee, accepts such offer. Subject to the satisfaction of any applicable requirements of the Maryland REIT Law, the Trust shall have the right to accept such offer for a period of 90 days after the later of (i) the date of the transfer that resulted in such Excess Stock and (ii) the date the Board of Trustees determines in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess Stock has occurred, if the Trust does not receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to subparagraph (a)(5) of this Article NINTH.

(c) Nothing contained in this Article NINTH or in any other provision of this Declaration shall limit the authority of the Board of Trustees to take such other action as it, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable to protect the Trust and the interests of the shareholders by maintaining the Trust’s eligibility to be, and preserving the Trust’s status as, a qualified REIT under the Code.

(d) If any of the foregoing restrictions on transfer of Excess Stock is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the Purported Beneficial Transferee may be deemed, at the option of the Board of Trustees, to have acted as an agent of the Trust in acquiring such Excess Stock and to hold such Excess Stock on behalf of the Trust.

(e) Nothing in this Article NINTH precludes the settlement of transactions entered into through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange.

TENTH: (a) The duration of the Trust shall be perpetual. The Trust shall be subject to termination at any time by the vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

(b)

Upon the termination of the Trust:

(1) the Trust shall carry on no business except for the purpose of winding up its affairs;

-66-

(2) the Trustees shall proceed to wind up the affairs of the Trust and all the powers of the Trustees under this Declaration shall continue until the affairs of the Trust shall have been wound up, including the power to fulfill or discharge the contracts of the Trust, collect its assets, sell, convey, assign, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the remaining trust estate to one or more persons at public or private sale (for consideration which may consist in whole or in part of cash, securities or other property of any kind), discharge or pay its liabilities, and do all other acts appropriate to liquidate its business; and

(3) after paying or adequately providing for the payment of all liabilities, and upon receipt of such releases, indemnities and refunding agreements, as they deem necessary for their protection, the Trustees may distribute the remaining trust estate (in case or in kind or partly each) among the shareholders according to their respective rights.

ELEVENTH: (a) There shall be an annual meeting of the shareholders, to be held on proper notice at such time (after the delivery of the annual report) and convenient location as shall be determined by or in the manner prescribed in the Bylaws, for the election of the Trustees, if required, and for the transaction of any other business within the powers of the Trust. Special meetings of the shareholders may only be called by a majority of the trustees. Except as otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust, special meetings of shareholders may be called in the manner provided in the Bylaws. If there shall be no trustees, the officers of the Trust shall promptly call a special meeting of the shareholders entitled to vote for the election of successor trustees. Any meeting may be adjourned and reconvened as the Trustees determine or as provided in the Bylaws.

No business shall be transacted by the shareholders at a special meeting other than business that is either (i) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the trustees (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (ii) otherwise properly brought before the shareholders by or at the direction of the trustees.

(b) Any notice of meeting or other notice, communication or report to any shareholder shall be deemed duly delivered to such shareholder when such notice, communication or report is deposited, with postage thereon prepaid, in the United States mail, addressed to such shareholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Trust or is delivered in person to such shareholder.

(c) After termination of the Trust and distribution of the trust estate to the shareholders as herein provided, a majority of the Trustees shall execute and lodge among the records of the Trust an instrument in writing setting forth the fact of such termination and such distribution, a copy of which instrument shall be filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, and the Trustees shall thereupon be discharged from all further liabilities and duties hereunder and the rights and interests of all shareholders shall thereupon cease.

(d) This Declaration may be amended (except that the provisions governing the personal liability of the shareholders, Trustees and of the officers, employees and agents of the Trust and the prohibition of assessments upon shareholders may not be amended in any respect

-67-

that could increase the personal liability of such shareholders, Trustees or officers, employees and agents of the Trust) at a meeting of shareholders by holders of shares representing a majority of the total number of votes authorized to be cast in respect of shares then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon; provided that any amendment of Article TENTH shall require the approval of holders of shares representing two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of votes authorized to be cast in respect of shares then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon. A two-thirds (2/3) majority of the Trustees may, after fifteen (15) days’ written notice to the shareholders, also amend this Declaration without the vote or consent of shareholders if in good faith they deem it necessary to conform this Declaration to the requirements of the REIT Provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, but the Trustees shall not be liable for failing to do so.

(e) This Declaration is executed and acknowledged by the Trustees with reference to the statutes and laws of the State of Maryland, and the rights of all parties and the construction and effect of every provision hereof shall be subject and construed according to the statutes and laws of such State. In defining or interpreting the powers and duties of the Trust and its Trustees and officers, reference may be made by the Trustees or officers, to the extent appropriate and not inconsistent with this Declaration, the Bylaws or the Maryland REIT Law, to the provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law.

TWELFTH: In the event any term, provision, sentence or paragraph of this Declaration of Trust is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such term, provision, sentence or paragraph shall be deemed severed from the remainder of the Declaration, and the balance of the Declaration shall remain in effect and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law and shall be construed to preserve the intent and purposes of the Declaration. Any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such term, provision, sentence or paragraph of this Declaration in any other jurisdiction.

LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES TRUST

BY-LAWS

ARTICLE I.

SHAREHOLDERS

SECTION 1.01. Annual Meeting. The Company shall hold an annual meeting of its shareholders to elect trustees and transact any other business within its powers, either at 10:00 a.m. on the first day of May in each year if not a legal holiday, or at such other time on such other day falling on or before the 30th day thereafter as shall be set by the Board of Trustees. Except as the Declaration of Trust or statute provides otherwise, any business may be considered at an annual meeting without the purpose of the meeting having been specified in the notice. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate

the Company's existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate acts.

SECTION 1.02. Special Meeting. At any time in the interval between annual meetings, a special meeting of the shareholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees or the President or by a majority of the Board of Trustees by vote at a meeting or in writing (addressed to the Secretary of the Company) with or without a meeting. Special meetings of the shareholders shall be called as may be required by law.

SECTION 1.03. Place of Meetings. Meetings of shareholders shall be held at such place in the United States as is set from time to time by the Board of Trustees.

SECTION 1.04. Notice of Meetings; Waiver of Notice. Not less than ten nor more than 90 days before each shareholders' meeting, the Secretary shall give written notice of the meeting to each shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting and each other shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting. The notice shall state the time and place of the meeting and, if the meeting is a special meeting or notice of the purpose is required by statute, the purpose of the meeting. Notice is given to a shareholder when it is personally delivered to

him, left at his residence or usual place of business, or mailed to him at his address as it appears on the records of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, each person who is entitled to notice waives notice if he before or after the meeting signs a waiver of the notice which is filed with the records of shareholders' meetings, or is present at the meeting in person or by proxy.

SECTION 1.05. Quorum Voting. Unless statute or the Declaration of Trust provides otherwise, at a meeting of shareholders the presence in person or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting constitutes a quorum, and a majority of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to approve any matter which properly comes before the meeting, except that a plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a trustee.

SECTION 1.06. Adjournments. Whether or not a quorum is present, a meeting of shareholders convened on the date for which it was called may be adjourned from time to time without further notice by a majority vote of the shareholders present in person or by proxy to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date. Any business which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified may be deferred and transacted at any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present.

SECTION 1.07. General Right to Vote; Proxies. Unless the Declaration of Trust provides for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or denies voting rights, each outstanding share of beneficial interest, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. In all elections for trustees, each share of beneficial interest may be voted for as many individuals as there are trustees to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A shareholder may vote the beneficial interest he owns of record either in person or by

written proxy signed by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact. Unless a proxy provides otherwise, it is not valid more than 11 months after its date.

SECTION 1.08. List of Shareholders. At each meeting of shareholders, a full, true and complete list of all shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting, showing the number and class of shares held by each and certified by the transfer agent for such class or by the Secretary, shall be furnished by the Secretary.

SECTION 1.09. Conduct of Business and Voting. At all meetings of shareholders, unless the voting is conducted by an inspector, the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies, the acceptance or rejection of votes and procedures for the conduct of business not otherwise specified by these By-Laws, the Declaration of Trust or law, shall be decided or determined by the chairman of the meeting. If demanded by shareholders, present in person or by proxy, entitled to cast 10% in number of votes entitled to be cast, or if ordered by the chairman of the meeting, the vote upon any election or question shall be

taken by ballot and, upon like demand or order, the voting shall be conducted by an inspector, in which event the proxies and ballots shall be received, and all questions touching the qualification of voters and the validity of proxies and the acceptance or rejection of votes shall be decided, by such inspector. Unless so demanded or ordered, no vote need be by ballot and voting need not be conducted by an inspector. The shareholders at any meeting may choose an inspector to act at such meeting, and in

default of such election, the chairman of the meeting may appoint an inspector. No candidate for election as trustee at a meeting shall serve as an inspector thereat.

SECTION 1.10. Informal Action by Shareholders. Except as provided below, any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of shareholders may be taken without a meeting if there is filed with the records of shareholder's meetings a unanimous written consent which sets forth the action and is signed by each shareholder entitled to vote on the matter and a written waiver of any right to dissent signed by each shareholder entitled to notice of the meeting but not entitled to vote at it. Unless the Declaration of Trust provides otherwise, the holders of any class of shares, other than the common stock

of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of trustees, may take action or consent to any action by delivering a written consent of the shareholders entitled to cast not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take any such action at a shareholders meeting, provided that the Company gives notice of the action to each shareholder not later than 10 days after the effective time of the action.

SECTION 1.11. Shareholder Proposals. For any shareholder proposal to be presented in connection with an annual meeting of shareholders of the Company, including any proposal relating to the nomination of a trustee to be elected to the Board of Trustees of the Company, the shareholders must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Company. To be timely, a shareholder's proposal shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company not less than 120 days in advance of the release date of the Company's proxy statement to shareholders in connection with the preceding year's annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed

by more than 60 days from such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the 90th day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 60th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Such shareholders' notice shall set forth (a) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a trustee all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of trustees, or is otherwise required, in each case, pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (including such person's written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a trustee if elected); (b) as to any other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (c) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (i) the name and address of such shareholder, as they appear on the Company's books, and of such beneficial owner and (ii) the class and number of shares of beneficial interest of the Company which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholders and such beneficial owner. For the 1995 annual meeting the previous year's meeting shall be deemed to have taken place on May 12, 1994; provided that this sentence shall cease to be a part of these By-Laws after the holding of the 1995 annual meeting and any adjournments thereof.

SECTION 1.12. Control Share Acquisition Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Declaration of Trust of the Trust or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust. This section may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to any prior or subsequent control share acquisition.

ARTICLE II.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES

SECTION 2.01. Function of Trustees. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of its Board of Trustees. All powers of the Company may be exercised by or under authority of the Board of Trustees, except as conferred on or reserved to the shareholders by statute or by the Declaration of Trust or By-Laws.

SECTION 2.02. Number of Trustees. At any regular meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose, a majority of the entire Board of Trustees may establish, increase or decrease the number of Trustees, provided that the number thereof shall never be less than the minimum number required by the Maryland REIT Law and further provided that the tenure of office of a Trustee shall not be affected by any decrease in the number of Trustees.

SECTION 2.03. Election and Tenure of Trustees. At each annual meeting the shareholders shall elect trustees to hold office until the next annual meeting and until their successors are elected and qualify.

SECTION 2.04. Removal of Trustee. Any trustee or the entire Board of Trustees may be removed only in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust.

SECTION 2.05 Vacancy on Board of Trustees. The shareholders shall elect a successor to fill a vacancy on the Board of Trustees which results from the removal of a trustee. A trustee elected by the shareholders to fill a vacancy which results from the removal of a trustee serves for the balance of the term of the removed trustee. A majority of the remaining Trustees, whether or not sufficient to constitute a quorum, may fill a vacancy on the Board of Trustees which results from any increase in the authorized number of Trustees, or death, resignation, retirement or other cause. A trustee elected by the Board of Trustees to fill a vacancy serves until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his successor is elected and qualifies.

SECTION 2.06. Regular Meetings. After each meeting of shareholders at which trustees shall have been elected, the Board of Trustees shall meet as soon as practicable for the purpose of organization and the transaction of other business. In the event that no other time and place are specified by resolution of the Board of Trustees, the President or the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, with notice in accordance with Section 2.08, the Board of Trustees shall meet immediately following the close of, and at the place of, such shareholders' meeting. Any other regular meeting of the Board of Trustees shall be held on such date and at any place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Trustees.

SECTION 2.07. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Board of Trustees may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees or the President or by a majority of the Board of Trustees by vote at a meeting or in writing with or without a meeting. A special meeting of the Board of Trustees shall be held on such date and at any place as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Trustees. In the absence of designation such meeting shall be held at such place as may be designated in the call.

SECTION 2.08. Notice of Meeting. Except as provided in Section 2.06, the Secretary shall give notice to each trustee of each regular and special meeting of the Board of Trustees. The notice shall state the time and place of the meeting. Notice is given to a trustee when it is delivered personally to him, left at his residence or usual place of business, or sent by telegraph, facsimile transmission or telephone, at least 24 hours before the time of the meeting or, in the alternative by mail to his address as it shall appear on the records of the Company, at least 72 hours before the time of the meeting. Unless these By-Laws or a resolution of the Board of Trustees provides otherwise, the notice need not state the business to be transacted at or the purposes of any regular or special meeting of the Board of Trustees. No notice of any meeting of the Board of Trustees need be given to any trustee who attends except where a trustee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened, or to any trustee who, in writing executed and filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the holding thereof, waives such notice. Any meeting of the Board of Trustees, regular or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and no notice need be given of any such adjourned meeting other than by announcement.

SECTION 2.09. Action by Trustees. Unless statute, the Declaration of Trust or these By-Laws requires a greater proportion, the action of a majority of the trustees present at a meeting at which a quorum is present is action of the Board of Trustees. A majority of the entire Board of Trustees shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the trustees present by majority vote and without notice other than by announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the Meeting as originally notified. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Trustees may be taken without a meeting, if a unanimous written or electronic consent which sets forth the action is signed or authorized by each member of the Board of Trustees and filed with the minutes of proceeding of the Board of Trustees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any of Lepercq Corporate Income Fund, L.P., Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II, L.P., Net 3 Acquisition L.P. or any other similar "UPREIT" partnership in which the Company or its affiliates is the general partner (each, an "Operating Partnership"), determines to distribute, on a per unit basis, to its limited partners an amount which is in excess of the largest corresponding distribution to be made by any other Operating Partnership, on a per unit basis (an "Excess Distribution"), such Excess Distribution shall require the approval of a majority of the Independent Trustees. For purposes of this Section 2.09, "Independent Trustees" means those members of the Board of Trustees who (i) have been designated by the Board of Trustees

as "independent" under the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange (or other exchange on which the Company is then listed) and (ii) are not a limited partner of the Operating Partnership which is making the Excess Distribution. The prior two sentences of this Section 2.09 and any provision relating to the making of distributions in the organizational documents of the general partner of an Operating Partnership may only be amended by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees.

SECTION 2.10. Meeting by Conference Telephone. Members of the Board of Trustees may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

SECTION 2.11. Compensation. By resolution of the Board of Trustees a fixed sum and expenses, if any, for attendance at each regular or special meeting of the Board of Trustees or of committees thereof, and other compensation for their services as such or on committees of the Board of Trustees, may be paid to trustees. Trustees who are full-time employees of the Company need not be paid for attendance at meetings of the Board of Trustees or committees thereof for which fees are paid to other trustees. A trustee who

serves the Company in any other capacity also may receive compensation for such other services, pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Trustees.

SECTION 2.12. Advisory Trustees. The Board of Trustees may by resolution appoint advisory trustees to the Board of Trustees, who may also serve as trustees emeriti, and shall have such authority and receive such compensation and reimbursement as the Board of Trustees shall provide. Advisory trustees or trustees emeriti shall not have the authority to participate by vote in the transaction of business.

ARTICLE III.

COMMITTEES

SECTION 3.01. Committees. The Board of Trustees may appoint from among its members an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and other committees composed of one or more trustees and delegate to these committees any of the powers of the Board of Trustees, except (i) the power to authorize dividends on stock (other than as provided below), (ii) elect directors, (iii) issue stock (other than as provided below), (iv) recommend to the shareholders any action which requires shareholder approval, (v) amend these By-Laws, or (vi) approve any merger or share exchange which does not require shareholder approval. The entire Audit Committee and the entire Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be trustees who are independent of management. The entire Compensation Committee shall be trustees who are "disinterested persons" within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If the Board of Trustees has given general authorization for a distribution and provides for or establishes a method or procedure for determining the maximum amount of the distribution, a committee of the Board of

Trustees or an officer of the Company, in accordance with that general authorization, may fix the amount and other terms of the distribution. If the Board of Trustees has given general authorization for the issuance of beneficial interest, a committee of the Board of Trustees, in accordance with a general formula or method specified by the Board of Trustees by resolution or adoption of a beneficial interest option or other plan, may fix the terms of beneficial interest subject to classification or reclassification and the terms on which any beneficial interest may be issued, including all terms and conditions required or permitted to be established or authorized by the Board of Trustees.

SECTION 3.02. Committee Procedure. Each committee may fix rules of procedure for its business. A majority of the members of a committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee. The members of a committee present at any meeting, whether or not they constitute a quorum, may appoint a trustee to act in the place of an absent member. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of a committee may be taken without a meeting, if a unanimous written or electronic consent which sets forth the action is signed or authorized by each member of the committee and filed with the minutes of the committee. The members of a committee may conduct any meeting thereof by conference telephone in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10.

SECTION 3.03. Emergency. In the event of a state of disaster of sufficient severity to prevent the conduct and management of the affairs and business of the Company by its trustees and officers as contemplated by the Declaration of Trust and these By-Laws, the available trustees shall elect a Special Executive Committee consisting of any two members of the Board of Trustees, whether or not they be officers of the Company, which two members shall constitute the Special Executive Committee for the full conduct and management of the affairs of the Company in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. This Section shall be subject to implementation by resolution of the Board of Trustees passed from time to time for that purpose, and any provisions of these By-Laws (other than this Section) and any resolutions which are contrary to the provisions of this Section or to the provisions of any such implementary resolutions shall be suspended until it shall be determined by any Special Executive Committee acting under this Section that it shall be to the advantage of the Company to resume the conduct and management of its affairs and business under all the other provisions of these By-Laws.

ARTICLE IV.

For certificated shares of beneficial interest, each shareholder is entitled to certificates which represent and certify the shares of beneficial interest the shareholder holds in the Company. Each certificate (a) shall be in such form, not inconsistent with law or with the Declaration of Trust, as shall be approved by the Board of Trustees or any officer or officers designated for such purpose by resolution of the Board of Trustees, (b) shall include on its face the name of the Company, the name of the shareholder or other person to whom it is issued, and the class of shares of beneficial interest and number of shares of beneficial interest it represents, (c) shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, the President, or a Vice-President, and countersigned by the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary, the Treasurer, or an Assistant Treasurer, (d) may be sealed with the actual seal of the Company or a facsimile of it or in any other form and signatures may be either manual or facsimile signatures. Each certificate shall also include on its face or back (a) a statement of any restrictions on transferability and a statement of the designations and any preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption of the shares of beneficial interest of each class which the Company is authorized to issue, of the differences in the relative rights and preferences between the shares of beneficial interest of each series of a preferred or special class in a series which the Company is authorized to issue, to the extent they have been set, and of the authority of the Board of Trustees to set the relative rights and preferences of subsequent series of a preferred or special class of shares of beneficial interest or (b) a statement which provides in substance that the Company will furnish a full statement of such information to any shareholder on request and without charge.

Such request may be made to the Secretary or to the transfer agent for the shares of beneficial interest. Except as provided in the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code - Investment Securities, the fact that a certificate does not contain or refer to a restriction on transferability that is adopted after the date of issuance does not mean that the restriction is invalid or unenforceable. A certificate is valid and may be issued whether or not an officer who signed it is still an officer when it is issued. A certificate may not be issued until the shares of beneficial interest represented by it are fully paid. Upon the issuance of uncertificated shares of beneficial interest, the Company shall send the shareholder a written statement of the same information required above on the certificate and by the Maryland Uniform Commercial Code - Investment Securities.

The record date may not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed nor, subject to Section 1.06, more than 90 days before the date on which the action requiring the determination will be taken; the transfer books may not be closed for a period longer than 20 days; and, in the case of a meeting of shareholders, the record date or the closing of the transfer books shall be at least ten days before the date of the meeting.

SECTION 6.04. Beneficial Interest Ledger. The Company shall maintain a beneficial interest ledger which contains the name and address of each shareholder and the number of shares of beneficial interest of each class which the shareholder holds. The beneficial interest ledger may be in written form or in any other form which can be converted within a reasonable time into written form for visual inspection. The original or a duplicate of the beneficial interest ledger shall be kept at the offices of a transfer agent for the particular class of beneficial interest, or, if none, at the principal office in the State of Maryland or the principal executive offices of the Company.

SECTION 6.05. Certification of Beneficial Owners. The Board of Trustees may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a shareholder of the Company may certify in writing to the Company that any shares of beneficial interest registered in the name of the shareholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the shareholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of shareholders who may certify; the purpose for which the certification may be made; the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the beneficial interest transfer books, the time after the record date or closing of the beneficial interest transfer books within which the certification must be received by the Company; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Board of Trustees considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of a certification which complies with the procedure adopted by the Board of Trustees in accordance with this Section, the person specified in the certification is, for the purpose set forth in the certification, the holder of record of the specified beneficial interest in place of the shareholder who makes the certification.

SECTION 6.06. Lost Beneficial Interest Certificates. The Board of Trustees of the Company may determine the conditions for issuing a new beneficial interest certificate in place of one which is alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, or the Board of Trustees may delegate such power to any officer or officers of the Company. In their discretion, the Board of Trustees or such officer or officers may refuse to issue such new certificate save upon order of some court having jurisdiction in the premises.

SECTION 7.02. Annual Statement of Affairs. The President or chief accounting officer shall prepare annually a full and correct statement of the affairs of the Company, to include a balance sheet and a financial statement of operations for the preceding fiscal year. The statement of affairs shall be submitted at the annual meeting of the shareholders and, within 20 days after the meeting, placed on file at the Company's principal.

SECTION 7.03. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company shall be the twelve calendar months ending December 31 in each year, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Trustees.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and except as otherwise prescribed by the Declaration of Trust or these By-Laws with respect to certificates for shares, the Board of Trustees may authorize any officer, employee, or agent of the Company to enter into any contract or execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Company.

ARTICLE VIII.

INDEMNIFICATION

Any indemnification, or payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of any proceeding, shall be made promptly, and in any event within 60 days, upon the written request of the trustee or officer entitled to seek indemnification (the "Indemnified Party"). The right to indemnification and advances hereunder shall be enforceable by the Indemnified Party in any court of competent jurisdiction, if (i) the Company denies such request, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition thereof is made within 60 days. The Indemnified Party's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be reimbursed by the Company.

that the facts then known to those making the determination would preclude indemnification or (b) the Company has not received either (i) an undertaking as required by law to repay such advances in the event it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met or (ii) a written affirmation by the Indemnified Party of such Indemnified Party's good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company has been met.

SECTION 8.02. Exclusivity; Etc. The indemnification and advance of expenses provided by the Declaration of Trust and these By-Laws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advance of expenses may be entitled under any law (common or statutory), or any agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested trustees or other provision that is consistent with law, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office or while employed by or acting as agent for the Company, shall continue in respect of all events occurring while a person was a trustee or officer after such person has ceased to be a trustee or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors and administrators of such person. All rights to indemnification and advance of expenses under the Declaration of Trust of the Company and hereunder shall be deemed to be a contract between the Company and each trustee or officer of the Company who serves or served in such capacity at any time while this By-Law is in effect. Nothing herein shall prevent the amendment of this By-Law, provided that no such amendment shall diminish the rights' of any person hereunder with respect to events occurring or claims made before its adoption or as to claims made after its adoption in respect of events occurring before its adoption. Any repeal or modification of this By-Law shall not in any way diminish any rights to indemnification or advance of expenses of such trustee or officer or the obligations of the Company arising hereunder with respect to events occurring, or claims made, while this By-Law or any provision hereof is in force.

SECTION 8.03. Severability: Definitions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Article VIII shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The phrase "this By-Law" in this Article VIII means this Article VIII in its entirety.

ARTICLE IX.

(1) the making of any expenditures, the lending or borrowing of money (including, without limitation, making prepayments on loans and borrowing money to permit the Partnership to make distributions to its Partners in such amounts as will permit LXP (so long as LXP qualifies as a REIT) to avoid the payment of any federal income tax (including, for this purpose, any excise tax pursuant to Section 4981 of the Code) and to make distributions to its stockholders sufficient to permit LXP to maintain REIT status) and the assumption or guarantee of, or other contracting for, indebtedness and other liabilities;

(2) the acquisition, disposition, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or exchange of any assets of the Partnership or the merger or other combination of the Partnership with or into another entity;

(3) subject to Section 7.1E hereof, the use of the assets of the Partnership for any purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement and on any terms the

(4) the management, operation, leasing, landscaping, repair, alteration, demolition or improvement of any real property or improvements owned by the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership;

(5) the negotiation, execution and performance of any contracts, conveyances or other instruments that the General Partner considers useful or necessary to the conduct of the Partnership’s operations or the implementation of the General Partner’s powers under this Agreement;

(6) the distribution of Partnership cash or other Partnership assets in accordance with this Agreement;

(7) the formation of, or acquisition of an interest in, and the contribution of property to, any further limited or general partnerships or joint ventures that the General Partner deems desirable;

(8) the undertaking of any action in connection with the Partnership’s direct or indirect investment in its Subsidiaries or any other Person (including, without limitation, the contribution or loan of funds by the Partnership to such Persons);

(9) the determination of the fair market value of any Partnership property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as the General Partner may adopt;

(10) the exercise, directly or indirectly, through any attorney-in-fact acting under a general or limited power of attorney, of any right, including the right to vote, appurtenant to any asset or investment held by the Partnership; and

(11) the making, execution and delivery of any and all deeds, leases, notes, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, conveyances, contracts, guarantees, warranties, indemnities, waivers, releases or legal instruments or agreements in writing necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the General Partner for the accomplishment of any of the powers of the General Partner enumerated in this Agreement; provided, however, that any agreement which governs the rights of the Special Voting Preferred Stock must contain a provision (the “Voting Direction Provision”) that requires the Special Voting Preferred Holder to vote the shares of Special Voting Preferred Stock in proportion to the votes (the “LP Direction Votes”) that the Special Voting Preferred Holder receives from the holders of the Special Voting Partnership Units (other than the General Partner), subject to the Special Voting Preferred Direction Exclusions. The Special Voting Preferred Holder shall be entitled to vote its Special Voting Preferred Stock in its sole discretion to the extent Vornado Realty Trust is not granted LP Direction Votes in respect of its Partnership Units by virtue of the Special Voting Preferred Direction Exclusions.

B. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain (i) casualty, liability and other insurance on the properties of the Partnership and (ii) liability insurance for the Indemnitees hereunder.

C. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to establish and maintain any and all reserves, working capital accounts and other cash or similar balances in such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time.

D. In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall not be obligated to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner of any action taken by it. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not, however, have liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement.

E. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.1E and notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7.3 hereof, the General Partner shall not, without the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Common Units excluding those Common Units held by LXP, the General Partner or an LXP LP, utilize any Partnership assets except (i) to make payments required pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof, (ii) make Distributions permitted hereunder, or (iii) to acquire assets or make loans for the exclusive benefit of the Partnership; provided, however, any loan made to an Affiliate of the General Partner must be made on the following terms and conditions: (1) if such loan is made to an Affiliate of the General Partner in which neither LXP nor any Affiliate of LXP (other than the Partnership) holds an interest, on such terms and conditions as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion; or (2) in all other cases either (x) if such loan is made prior to the Contributions being consummated, the terms shall be no more favorable to such Affiliate than such Affiliate could obtain from a third-party or (y) if such loan is made from and after the Contributions being consummated, the terms shall be as determined by the General Partner in its sole discretion but in no event shall the interest charged on such loan be less than the Applicable Federal Rate.

Section 7.2

Certificate of Limited Partnership.

To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware and each other state, or the District of Columbia, in which the partnership may elect to do business or own property. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability to the extent provided by applicable law) in the State of Delaware and any other state, or the District of Columbia, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.

Section 7.3

Contracts with Affiliates.

A. The Partnership may lend or contribute funds or other assets to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.

B. Except as otherwise provided herein and subject to Section 3.1 hereof, the Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships, corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes to be advisable.

C. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are determined by the General Partner in good faith to be fair and reasonable and which shall have been approved by a majority of the independent trustees of LXP.

D. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries.

E. Subject to the proviso contained Section 7.1A(11), the General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, any services agreement with Affiliates of any of the Partnership or the General Partner, on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable.

Section 7.4

Reimbursement of LXP.

A. Except as provided in this Section 7.4 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership.

B. The Partnership shall be liable for, and shall reimburse LXP and the General Partner on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all sums expended and all expenses incurred in connection with the Partnership’s business, including but not limited to, overhead expenses and any issuance of REIT Shares pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall equitably adjust any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 7.4.B. to reflect the fact that LXP and the General Partner are subject to similar obligations pursuant to the partnership agreements of the Other Partnerships.

C. In the event that LXP shall elect to purchase from its shareholders REIT Shares for the purpose of delivering such REIT Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment program adopted by LXP, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by LXP, or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by LXP in the future or for the purpose of retiring such REIT Shares, the purchase price paid by LXP for such REIT Shares and any other expenses incurred by LXP in connection with such purchase shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be advanced or reimbursed to LXP, subject to the condition that (i) if such REIT Shares subsequently are sold by LXP, LXP shall pay to the Partnership, through the General Partner or an LXP LP, any proceeds received by LXP for such REIT Shares (which sales proceeds shall include the amount of dividends reinvested under any dividend reinvestment or similar program; provided that a transfer of REIT Shares for Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.4 would not be considered a sale for such purpose); and (ii) if such REIT Shares are not retransferred by LXP within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, or LXP otherwise determines not to retransfer such REIT Shares, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to redeem a number of Partnership Units held by LXP as a Limited Partner (whether directly or indirectly through a Subsidiary), equal to the result obtained by dividing the number of such REIT Shares by the Redemption Factor (in which case such advancement of expenses shall be treated as having been made as a distribution in redemption of such number of Partnership Units by LXP). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall equitably adjust any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 7.4.C. to reflect the fact that LXP and the General Partner are subject to similar obligations pursuant to the partnership agreements of the Other Partnerships.

Section 7.5

Indemnification.

A. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities(whether joint or several), expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership (“Actions”) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not indemnify an Indemnitee (i) for the act or omission of the Indemnitee material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding which was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) for any transaction for which such Indemnitee received an improper personal benefit (in money, property or services) in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement; or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, for an unlawful act or omission by the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.5 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this Section 7.5.A that the Partnership indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law. The termination of any proceeding by

judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.5.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.5.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.5 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.5.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.5.A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.5 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

E. Any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Partnership or the General Partner (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 7.5, unless such liabilities arise as a result of (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding which was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) any transaction for which such Indemnitee received an improper personal benefit (in money, property or services) in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement; or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, an unlawful act or

omission by the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful.

F. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.5 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

H. The provisions of this Section 7.5 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.5 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the obligations of the Partnership or the limitations on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.5 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.6

Liability of the General Partner.

A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its directors or officers shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the General Partner or such director or officer acted in good faith.

B. That the General Partner is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Limited Partners or the General Partner’s shareholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners, Assignees or the General Partner’s shareholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions.

C. Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1.A hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents (subject to the supervision and control of the General Partner). The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.

D. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the General Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any other Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the

extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the General Partner otherwise existing at law or in equity, to replace such other duties and liabilities of such General Partner.

E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any express indemnities given to the Partnership by any Partner pursuant to any other written instrument, no Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever, to the Partnership or to the other Partner(s), for the debts or liabilities of the Partnership or the Partnership’s obligations hereunder, and the full recourse of the other Partner(s) shall be limited to the interest of that Partner in the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no officer, director or shareholder of the General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership for money damages except for (i) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a non-appealable final judgment or (ii) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. Without limitation of the foregoing, and except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any such express indemnity, no property or assets of any Partner, other than its interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Partner(s) and arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement. This Agreement is executed by the officers of the General Partner solely as officers of the same and not in their own individual capacities.

F. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s, and its officers’ and directors’, liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.6 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

Section 7.7

Other Matters Concerning the General Partner.

A. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

B. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

C. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General

Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder.

D. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of LXP to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for LXP otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements, or (iii) to avoid LXP incurring any taxes under the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners.

ARTICLE 8

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS

Section 8.1

Management of Business.

The Limited Partners and Assignees shall not take part in the operation, management or control of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in the Partnership’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership. The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

Section 8.2

Outside Activities of Limited Partners.

Neither the Partnership nor any Partner shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Additional Limited Partner or Assignee. None of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person (other than the General Partner to the extent expressly provided herein) and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner, or such other Person, could be taken by such Person.

Section 8.3

Return of Capital.

Except pursuant to the right of redemption set forth in Section 8.4, no Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of his Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein.

Section 8.4

Redemption Rights.

A. Subject to Section 8.4.B or C and subject to Section 11.3.D, on or at any time after the Initial Redemption Date, each Limited Partner (other than an LXP LP) shall have the right (the “Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified

Redemption Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner (the “Tendered Units”) for the Cash Redemption Amount to be delivered by the Partnership; provided, however, that, at the option of the General Partner, such Partnership Units may be redeemed for the Share Redemption Amount to be delivered by the Partnership. The Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner by the Limited Partner who is exercising the Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Partner”). A Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right for fewer than five hundred (500) Partnership Units or, if such Limited Partner holds fewer than five hundred (500) Partnership Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner. The Redeeming Partner shall have no right, with respect to any Partnership Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Redemption Date. The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.4, and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by such Limited Partner’s Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Limited Partner, the Redemption Amount shall be delivered by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.

B. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on and after the date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners (other than LXP LPs) are less than one percent (1%), the General Partner may require the remaining Limited Partners to redeem their Partnership Units for the Redemption Amount to be delivered by the Partnership. The right of the General Partner under this Section 8.4.B shall be exercised pursuant to a notice delivered to all remaining Limited Partners. Such redemption shall be effective on the date specified in the notice, which date shall be at least 30 days after the notice is sent to the Limited Partners.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4.A hereof, on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion but subject to the Ownership Limit and the transfer restrictions and other limitations of the Declaration of Trust, elect to acquire, up to 100% of the Tendered Units from the Redeeming Partner (the percentage elected to be acquired by the General Partner being referred to as the “Applicable Percentage”) in exchange for the Share Redemption Amount. It shall be a condition to the General Partner’s ability to deliver the Share Redemption Amount that any such consideration shall consist of REIT Shares which shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. If the General Partner so elects, on the Specified Redemption Date the Redeeming Partner shall sell the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Units to the General Partner in exchange for REIT Shares. The Redeeming Partner shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as the General Partner or LXP may reasonably require in connection with the application of the Ownership Limit and any other restrictions and limitations imposed by the Declaration of Trust on such acquisition and (ii) such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary in the view of the General Partner or LXP to effect compliance with the Securities Act. In the event of a purchase of any Tendered Units by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.4.C, the Redeeming Partner shall no longer have the right to cause the Partnership to effect a Redemption of such Tendered Units, and, upon notice to the Redeeming Partner by the General Partner given on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, that the General Partner has elected to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 8.4.C, the Partnership shall

have no obligation to effect a Redemption of the Tendered Units as to which the notice by the General Partner relates. The Share Redemption Amount shall be delivered by the General Partner as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable REIT Shares and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the Ownership Limit and other restrictions provided in the Declaration of Trust, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws. Neither any Limited Partner whose Tendered Units are acquired by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.4.C, any Partner nor any other interested Person shall have any right to require or cause LXP to register, qualify or list any REIT Shares owned or held by such Person, whether or not such REIT Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 8.4.C, with the SEC, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or with any stock exchange; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be in derogation of any registration or similar rights granted pursuant to any other written agreement between the LXP and any such Person. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Redeeming Partner shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares and Rights for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. REIT Shares issued upon an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the LXP pursuant to this Section 8.4.C may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as the LXP in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.

D. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4.A, a Subsequent Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right pursuant to Section 8.4.A if the delivery of REIT Shares to such Subsequent Partner on the Specified Redemption Date would be prohibited under the Declaration of Trust and shall be subject in any event to the issuance of REIT Shares being in compliance with all applicable Federal and State securities laws.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of a Capital Event prior to the Specified Redemption Date, the proceeds of which are distributed to the Partners, and ultimately proportionately to the shareholders of LXP, the Percentage Interest of each Partner shall, from the date of such Capital Event, be equal to (i) the product of (a) such Partner’s Percentage Interest prior to such Capital Event and (b) the difference between (x) the fair market value of the assets of the Partnership and (y) any amounts distributed to such Partner as a result of the Capital Event, divided by (ii) the fair market value of the assets of the Partnership after such distribution. The General Partner shall adjust the number of Partnership Units owned by each Partner to appropriately reflect the adjustments made by this Section 8.4.D.

Section 8.5

Registration of Common Shares.

A. In connection with any REIT Shares delivered to any Limited Partner upon the redemption of Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner, it is intended that such Limited Partner be able to resell publicly such REIT Shares pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, but without the need to comply with the holding period requirements of Rule 144(d). To the extent that counsel to LXP reasonably determines that resales of any such REIT Shares cannot be made pursuant to the provisions of Rule 144, and without the need to comply with the holding period requirements of Rule 144(d), LXP agrees, at its sole cost and expense, if requested by a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners

(including REIT Shares delivered upon exchange of such Partnership Units) held by such Limited Partners to include REIT Shares that may be (or already have been) acquired by any Limited Partner in an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933; provided that LXP’s obligations to include such REIT Shares in such an effective registration statement shall be conditioned upon a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners (including REIT Shares delivered upon exchange of such Partnership Units) agreeing to be bound by a customary registration rights agreements to be prepared by LXP. In addition, any Limited Partner whose REIT Shares are included in such registration statement must also agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of a registration rights agreement.

B. In order to facilitate the sale of REIT Shares issued in exchange for Special Voting Partnership Units pursuant to the terms of Section 8.4 hereof, LXP agrees to cause a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the SEC within 45 days of the date hereof registering for sale up to the number of REIT Shares issuable upon exchange of the Special Voting Partnership Units.

Section 8.6

Mergers.

The General Partner shall not permit the Partnership to be a party to any consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction pursuant to which the Partnership Common Units are converted or changed into or exchanged for partnership interests and/or other securities of another operating partnership in an UPREIT or similar structure, in each case without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners, unless upon consummation of any such consolidation, merger, combination or other transaction, the holders of Common Units shall receive shares of stock or beneficial interest or other equity securities of the parent REIT of such operating partnership with preferences, rights and privileges not materially inferior to the preferences, rights and privileges of Common Shares. This Section 8.6 shall not be amended or modified without the prior consent of a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners.

ARTICLE 9

The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal office of the Partnership those records and documents required to be maintained by the Act and other books and records deemed by the General Partner to be appropriate with respect to the Partnership’s business. The books of the Partnership shall be maintained, for financial and tax reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or on such other basis as the General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate.

Section 10.2

Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code; provided that, the General Partner shall make the applicable adjustments under Section 754 of the Code in accordance with applicable Regulations thereunder. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such elections (including, without limitation, the election under Section 754 of the Code) upon the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners.

Section 10.3

Tax Matters Partner.

A. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. The tax matters partner is authorized but not required, to take any action on behalf of the Partners of the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by law.

B. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such audit or proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.5 of this Agreement shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such.

C. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services is reasonable.

Section 10.4

Withholding.

Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal, state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would

otherwise be made to such Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, such interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in full.

ARTICLE 11

TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 11.1

Transfer.

A. The term “transfer,” when used in this Article 11 with respect to a Partnership Unit, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which a Partner purports to assign all or any part of its Partnership Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term “transfer” when used in this Article 11 does not include any redemption of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner or acquisition of Partnership Units from a Limited Partner by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.4 except as otherwise provided in Section 8.4 or Section 11.3.D.

B. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void.

Section 11.2

Transfer of Partnership Interests by the General Partner.

A. The General Partner may not transfer any of its General Partner Interest except to a Qualified REIT Subsidiary or other entity owned directly or indirectly by LXP or as otherwise permitted hereunder. The General Partner may not withdraw as General Partner except in connection with the complete transfer of its Partnership Interest as permitted hereunder.

B. If LXP acquires any or all of the Partnership Interests of the General Partner or an LXP LP as permitted hereunder, LXP agrees that it will not transfer any of its Partnership Interests, except to an LXP LP or to the General Partner. LXP may not withdraw as Partner except in connection with the complete transfer of any Partnership Interest as permitted hereunder.

C. Any transferee who acquires a Partnership Interest under this Section 11.2 may become a Substituted Additional Limited Partner, or a successor General Partner upon such terms specified by the General Partner, including the delivery to the General Partner of such documents or instruments, including powers of attorney, as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as a Partner.

Section 11.3

Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer.

A. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.3.E, no Limited Partner shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s rights as a Limited Partner, without the prior written consent of the General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. Any purported transfer of a Partnership Interest by a Limited Partner in violation of this Section 11.3.A shall be void ab initio and shall not be given effect for any purpose by the Partnership.

B. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but no more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, as the case may be, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

C. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer otherwise permitted under Section 11.3.E by a Limited Partner of his Partnership Units (i) if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal, state, or foreign securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units or, (ii) if the transferring Limited Partner, fails or is unable to obtain and deliver to the Partnership, after request therefor is made by the General Partner, a legal opinion from counsel acceptable to the General Partner, addressed to the Partnership and the General Partner, that such registration is not required in connection with such transfer and that such transfer does not violate any federal, state or foreign securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units.

D. No transfer (including any redemption of any Partnership Unit pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof) by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person if, during the taxable year of the Partnership, the sum of the percentage interests in capital or profits (as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(k)) of the Partnership transferred exceeds two percent of the total interests in the Partnership’s capital or profits, unless (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, such transfer would not result in the Partnership being treated as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code or treated as an association taxable as a corporation or(ii) such transfer is described in any of paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1. The Partnership shall take all actions reasonably available to it to avoid treatment of the Partnership as a publicly traded partnership with the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code or otherwise as an association taxable as a corporation. In no event may such transfer be effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code. No transfer (including any redemption of any Partnership Unit pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof) by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person if, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would cause LXP to lose its REIT status under the Code.

E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.3.A (but subject to the provisions of Section 11.3.C and 11.3.D), a Limited Partner may, with or without the consent of the General Partner, transfer all or a portion of his Partnership Units to (i)(a) a member of his

Immediate Family, or a trust for the benefit of a member of his Immediate Family, (b) an organization that qualifies under Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and that is not a private foundation within the meaning of Section 509(a) of the Code, (c) in the case of a Partner that is a partnership or a limited liability company, a partner or member in the Limited Partner in a distribution by that Limited Partner to its partners or members under the partnership agreement or operating agreement of such Limited Partner or (d) any Person that is at least 95% beneficially owned (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) by the transferring Limited Partner or its beneficial owners or (ii) a lender as security for a loan made to or guaranteed by the Limited Partner, provided that in connection with any such transfer the lender does not acquire greater rights with respect to the Partnership Units than those held by the transferring Limited Partner.

Section 11.4

Substituted Additional Limited Partners.

A. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee in his place. The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Additional Limited Partner which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Additional Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner.

B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Additional Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement.

C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Additional Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Additional Limited Partner, and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Additional Limited Partner.

Section 11.5

Assignees.

If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 as an Additional Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive, distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, Recapture Income, and any other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners or other Limited Partners, where applicable, are voted). In the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the

same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

Section 11.6

General Provisions.

A. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Article 11 or pursuant to redemption of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.4.

B. Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of his Partnership Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 shall cease to be a Limited Partner upon the admission of an Assignee of such Partnership Units as a Substituted Additional Limited Partner. Similarly, any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of his Partnership Units pursuant to a redemption of all of his Partnership Units under Section 8.4 shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

C. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees.

D. If any Partnership Unit is transferred or assigned in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, or redeemed or transferred pursuant to Section 8.4 on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Unit for such Partnership Year shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Redeeming Partner, as the case may be, and, in the case of a transfer or assignment other than a redemption, to the transferee Partner, by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which a transfer or assignment occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Partner, and none of such items for the calendar month in which a transfer or a redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Redeeming Partner, as the case may be. All distributions of Operating Cash Flow attributable to such Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer, assignment or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner or the Redeeming Partner, as the case may be, and, in the case of a transfer or assignment other than a redemption, all distributions of Operating Cash Flow thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner.

ARTICLE 12

ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

Section 12.1

Admission of Subsequent Partner.

No Person shall be admitted as a Partner except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and upon obtaining the consent of the General Partner. Any prospective Partner must submit to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (ii) such other documents or instruments, including powers of attorney, as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as a Partner.

A. The admission of any Person as a Subsequent Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded in the books and records of the Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner to such admission.

B. If any Subsequent Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Subsequent Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Subsequent Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Partners and Assignees including such Limited Partner. All distributions of Operating Cash Flow with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Subsequent Partner, and all distributions of Operating Cash Flow thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Subsequent Partner.

Section 12.2

Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership.

For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practicable an amendment of this Agreement and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate.

Section 12.3

Limit on Number of Partners.

If the Partnership shall no longer be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, then unless otherwise permitted by the General Partner, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner if the effect of such admission would be to cause the Partnership to have a number of Partners (including as Partners for this purpose those Persons indirectly owning an interest in the Partnership through another partnership, a limited liability company, a subchapter S corporation or a grantor trust) that would cause the Partnership to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE 13

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 13.1

Dissolution.

The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Additional Limited Partners or Subsequent Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (“Liquidating Events”):

A. an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act, unless (i) at the time of such event there is at least one remaining general partner of the Partnership who carries on the business of the Partnership (and each remaining general partner of the Partnership is hereby authorized to carry on the business of the Partnership in such an event) or (ii) within ninety (90) days after such event, all Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of such event, of LXP as the General Partner of the Partnership (and LXP agrees to become a general partner of the Partnership);

B. entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provision of the Act; or

C. the sale of all or substantially all of the assets and properties of the Partnership.

Section 13.2

Winding Up.

A. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by a Majority-in-Interest of the Limited Partners (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(1) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities, including all contingent, conditional or immature claims and obligations to creditors other than the Partners (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

(2) Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the General Partner;

(3) Third, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the other Partners;

(4) The balance if any, to the Partners in accordance with the positive Capital Account balances of the Partners, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all periods.

The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article 13.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to its obligation to gradually settle and close the Partnership’s business under Section 17-803 of the Act), defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors).

Section 13.3

Negative Capital Accounts.

No Partner, general or limited, shall be liable to the Partnership or to any other Partner for any negative balance outstanding in each such Partner’s Capital Account, whether such negative Capital Account results from the allocation of Net Losses, or other items of deduction and loss to such Partner or from distributions to such Partner.

Section 13.4

Rights of the Limited Partners.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Limited Partners shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contribution and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership.

For purposes of obtaining a written consent, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to

D. Notwithstanding Sections 14.1.B and 14.1.C hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the consent of each Partner adversely affected thereby, if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited

Partner Interest in the Partnership into a General Partner Interest (except as a result of the General Partner acquiring such Partnership Interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter the rights of any Partner to receive the distributions to which such Partner is entitled, pursuant to Article V or Section 13.2.A hereof, or alter the allocations specified in Article VI hereof (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), (iv) alter or modify the Redemption Rights, Cash Redemption Amount, or Share Redemption Amount as set forth in Section 8.4 hereof, or amend or modify any related definitions, (v) permit the removal of the General Partner without its consent or (vi) amend this Section 14.1.D; provided, however, that the consent of each Partner adversely affected shall not be required for any amendment or action that affects all Partners holding the same class or series of Partnership Units on a uniform or pro rata basis. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set forth elsewhere in this Section 14.2 without the consent specified therein.

CAPITAL ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE

1.	Capital Accounts of the Partners

A. The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account in accordance with the rules of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions and any other deemed contributions made by such Partner to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) all items of Partnership income and gain (including income and gain exempt from tax) computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1.A of the Agreement and Exhibit B hereof, and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Agreed Value of all actual and deemed distributions of cash or property made to such Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (y) all items of Partnership deduction and loss computed in accordance with Section 1.B hereof and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 6.1.B of the Agreement and Exhibit B hereof.

B. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of income, gain, deduction or loss to be reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, the determination, recognition and classification of any such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for federal income tax purposes determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:

(1) Except as otherwise provided in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Partnership; provided that the amounts of any adjustments to the adjusted bases of the assets of the Partnership made pursuant to Section 734 of the Code as a result of the distribution of property by the Partnership to a Partner (to the extent that such adjustments have not previously been reflected in the Partners’ Capital Accounts) shall be reflected in the Capital Accounts of the Partners in the manner and subject to the limitations prescribed in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4).

(2) The computation of all items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be made without regard to the fact that items described in Sections 705(a)(1)(B) or 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code are not includable in gross income or are neither currently deductible nor capitalized for federal income tax purposes.

(3) Any income, gain or loss attributable to the taxable disposition of any Partnership property shall be determined as if the adjusted basis of such property as of such date of disposition were equal in amount to the Partnership’s Carrying Value with respect to such property as of such date.

A-1

(4) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cash recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such fiscal year.

(5) In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership Asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.D hereof, the amount of any such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset.

(6) Any items specially allocated under Section 2 of Exhibit B hereof shall not be taken into account.

C. Generally, a transferee (including any Assignee) of a Partnership Unit shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor.

D. (1) Consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and as provided in Section 1.D.(2), the Carrying Values of all Partnership assets shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the times the adjustments provided in Section 1.D.(2) hereto are made, as if such Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss had been recognized on an actual sale of each such property and allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement.

(2) Such adjustments may be made, in the discretion of the General Partner, as of the following times: (a) immediately prior to the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution; (b) immediately prior to the distribution by the Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Partnership; and (c) immediately prior to the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g).

(3) In accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) the Carrying Value of Partnership assets distributed in kind shall be adjusted upward or downward to reflect any Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such Partnership property, as of the time any such asset is distributed.

(4) In determining Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss for purposes of this Exhibit A, the aggregate cash amount and fair market value of all Partnership assets (including cash or cash equivalents) shall be determined by the General Partner using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt, or in the case of a liquidating distribution pursuant to Article 13 of the Agreement, be determined and allocated by the Liquidator using such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt. The General Partner, or the Liquidator, as the case may be, shall allocate such aggregate value among the assets of the Partnership (in such manner as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to arrive at a fair market value for individual properties).

E. The provisions of this Agreement (including this Exhibit A and the other Exhibits to this Agreement) relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event the General Partner shall determine that it is

A-2

prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership, the General Partner, or the Limited Partners), are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Person pursuant to Article 13 of the Agreement upon the dissolution of the Partnership. The General Partner also shall (i) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership Capital reflected on the Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q), and (ii) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

2.	No Interest

No interest shall be paid by the Partnership on Capital Contributions or on balances in Partners’ Capital Accounts.

3.	No Withdrawal

No Partner shall be entitled to withdraw any part of his Capital Contributions or his Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as provided in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this Exhibit B, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

A. Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 of the Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit B, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent 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 Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This Section l.A is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and for purposes of this net decrease only, each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement with respect to such Partnership Year and without regard to any decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during such Partnership Year.

B. Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6.1 of the Agreement or any other provisions of this Exhibit B (except Section l.A. hereof), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(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 Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 1.B is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Solely for the purposes of this Section 1.B, each Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be determined prior to any other allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement or this Exhibit B with respect to such Partnership Year, other than allocations-pursuant to Section 1.A hereof.

C. Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), and after giving effect to the allocations required under Sections l.A and l.B hereof, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such

B-1

Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, its Adjusted Capital Account Deficit created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.

D. Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

E. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Partner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2).

F. Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

2.	Allocations for Tax Purposes

A. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit B.

B. In an attempt to eliminate Book-Tax Disparities attributable to a Contributed Property or Adjusted Property, items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated for federal income tax purposes among the Partners as follows:

(1) (a) In the case of a Contributed Property, such items attributable thereto shall be allocated among the Partners consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code that takes into account the variation between the 704(c) Value of such property and its adjusted basis at the time of contribution; and

(b) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to a Contributed Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit B.

(2)

(a)

In the case of an Adjusted Property, such items shall

(1) first, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code to take into account the Unrealized Gain or Unrealized Loss attributable to such property and the allocations thereof pursuant to Exhibit A and

B-2

(2) second, in the event such property was originally a Contributed Property, be allocated among the Partners in a manner consistent with Section 2.B.(1) of this Exhibit B; and

(b) any item of Residual Gain or Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit B.

(3) All other items of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Partners in the same manner as their correlative item of “book” gain or loss is allocated pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Agreement and Section 1 of this Exhibit B.

C. To the extent Regulations promulgated pursuant to 704(c) of the Code permit a partnership to utilize creative methods to eliminate the disparities between the value of property and its adjusted basis (including, without limitation, the implementation of curative allocations), the General Partner shall have the authority to elect the method used by the Partnership and such election shall be binding on the Partners.

Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner shall take all steps (including, without limitation, implementing curative allocations) that it determines are necessary or appropriate to ensure that the amount of taxable gain required to be recognized by the General Partner upon a disposition by the Partnership of any Contributed Property or Adjusted Property does not exceed the sum of (i) the gain that would be recognized by the General Partner if such property had an adjusted tax basis at the time of disposition equal to the 704(c) Value of such property plus (ii) the deductions for depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery actually allowed to the General Partner with respect to such property for federal income tax purposes (after giving effect to the “ceiling rule”).

D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Contributed Property or Adjusted Property owned by the Partnership on the date hereof, the Partnership shall use the traditional method set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

Exhibit D

VOTING TRUSTEE AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, made as of ________, 2006 [TO BE EXECUTED AT THE CLOSING], among LEXINGTON REALTY TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“Lexington”), THE LEXINGTON MASTER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (formerly known as The Newkirk Master Limited Partnership), a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” and together with Lexington, the “Company”), and NKT ADVISORS LLC (the “Advisor”).

WHEREAS, the Advisory Agreement, dated November 7, 2005, among Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Newkirk”), the Operating Partnership and the Advisor is being terminated simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, simultaneously herewith, the merger contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 23, 2006 between Lexington and Newkirk (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Newkirk has merged with and into Lexington, with Lexington being the surviving entity (the “Merger”) is being consummated;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Advisor is the sole holder of Surviving Special Preferred Stock, $[.01] par value per share of Lexington (the “Special Voting Preferred Stock”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Special Voting Stock. Pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.1.A(11) of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, dated as of ___________, 2006 (the “Partnership Agreement”) [WILL BE SIGNED AT CLOSING], the Advisor shall cast all votes with respect to the Special Voting Preferred Stock in proportion to direction (the “LP Direction Votes”) that the Advisor receives (including abstentions) from the holders of the Special Voting Partnership Units (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) then outstanding, without regard to LP Direction Votes that were not cast. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Vornado Realty Trust or its affiliates (“Vornado”) are restricted from casting LP Direction Votes with respect to any of their Special Voting Partnership Units on account of Special Voting Preferred Direction Exclusions (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), the Advisor shall be entitled to cast, in its sole discretion, the LP Direction Votes that Vornado is restricted from casting. For example, if at the closing of Merger, 36,000,000 Special Voting Partnership Units are outstanding and at the time of a vote sought by Lexington of the holders of its common shares (“Company Common Shares”), 6,000,000 Special Voting Partnership Units have been redeemed, the Special Voting Preferred Stock would be entitled to 30,000,000 votes. Also assume that 1,000,000 of the Special Voting Partnership Units were then restricted from casting LP Direction Votes pursuant to Special Voting Preferred Direction Exclusions. If there were

20,000,000 LP Direction Votes cast in favor of the proposal submitted to the holders of the Company Common Shares (including 1,000,000 LP Direction Votes cast by the Advisor as a result of the Special Voting Direction Exclusions), 2,500,000 LP Direction Votes cast against such proposal, 2,500,000 LP Direction Votes abstaining and the holders of 5,000,000 Special Voting Partnership Units did not cast any LP Direction Votes, the Advisor would cast 24,000,000 (80% of 30,000,000) votes of the Special Voting Preferred Stock in favor of the proposal, 3,000,000 (10% of 30,000,000) against the proposal and 3,000,000 (10% of 30,000,000) as an abstention.

2. Voting Procedure. The Advisor agrees to (i) notify the holders of Special Voting Partnership Units regarding any matter as to which votes or consents are sought by Lexington from the holders of Special Voting Preferred Stock, (ii) provide such holders with copies of materials provided to the Advisor in connection with such vote or consent and (iii) provide such holders with the means with which to indicate their LP Direction Votes.

3. Term This Agreement shall terminate at such time as there are no longer any Special Voting Partnership Units outstanding.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), effective as of _________ ___, 2006, by and between Lexington Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”) and Michael L. Ashner (the “Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Company (the “Board”), has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive and to provide the Executive with compensation and benefits arrangements which are competitive with those of other real estate investment trusts; and

WHEREAS, the Board believes it is imperative to diminish the inevitable distraction of the Executive by virtue of the personal uncertainties and risks created by a pending or threatened Change in Control (as defined below) and to encourage the Executive’s full attention and dedication to the Company currently and in the event of any threatened or pending Change in Control;

NOW, THEREFORE, in order to accomplish these objectives and in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1. Employment. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company shall employ the Executive as Chairman and Director of Strategic Transactions, and the Executive accepts such employment for the Employment Term (as defined below). During the Employment Term, the Executive shall perform the duties of Chairman and Director of Strategic Transactions and such other duties as may from time to time be assigned to him by the Board.

2. Performance. Except as provided below, the Executive will serve the Company faithfully and to the best of his ability and will devote such business time, energy, experience and talents to the business of the Company and its affiliates as is reasonably required to perform his duties hereunder; provided, however, that it shall not be considered a violation of the foregoing for the Executive to engage in “Permitted Activities.” As used herein, the term “Permitted Activities” shall include the Executive’s (i) management of his personal or his family’s investments, (ii) serving as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of each of Winthrop Realty Trust (“Winthrop”), First Winthrop Corporation (“FWC”) and Winthrop Realty Partners, L.P.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Investments” shall mean (W) investments in equity securities of publicly traded real

estate entities in an amount not to exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding equity securities of such entity; (X) passive investments in real estate entities where the investment does not represent the greater of a 10% equity interest in the entity or $1,500,000; and (Y) investments in the entities set forth on Schedule 2 hereto (such entities being hereinafter referred to as “Ashner Entities”) provided that such Ashner Entities only make additional investments in assets related to those assets directly or indirectly currently owned or currently controlled, in each case as of the date hereof, by any Ashner Entity.

3. Employment Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 6 below (including, but not limited to, the Executive’s termination of employment due to death, resignation, or Disability (as defined in Section 5(b)(iii) below)), the employment term shall begin upon _________ ____, 2006 (the “Effective Date”), and shall continue for a period of three years from such date (the “Initial Term”); provided that such term shall be automatically extended for additional periods of one (1) year commencing on the third anniversary of the Effective Date and each anniversary thereof (such period the “Additional Term”) unless either party shall have given notice to the other party that such party does not desire to extend the term of this Agreement, such notice to be given at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of Initial Term or Additional Terms (the Initial Term and the Additional Term or Terms, if applicable, collectively, the “Employment Term”).

(a) Base Salary. As compensation for services hereunder and in consideration of the Executive’s other agreements hereunder, during the Employment Term, the Company shall pay the Executive a base salary, payable in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s procedures, subject to withholding and other applicable taxes, at an annual rate of Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000), subject to review by the Company no less frequently than annually for increase (but not to be decreased) (such base salary, as increased from time to time being hereinafter referred to as “Base Salary”).

(b) Bonuses and Incentive Compensation. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall have opportunities for bonuses and shall have opportunities for incentive compensation comparable to those provided to other senior executives of the Company and shall be eligible to participate in all bonus and incentive compensation plans made available by the Company, from time to time, for its senior executives.

(c) Medical, Dental, Disability, Life Insurance, Pension and Other Benefits. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable plan documents and all applicable laws, be eligible to participate in the various medical, dental, disability, life insurance, pension and other employee benefit plans made available by the Company, from time to time, for its senior executives.

-2-

(d) Vacation, Sick Leave. During the Employment Term, the Executive shall be entitled to vacation and sick leave in accordance with the Company’s established practices with respect to its senior executives.

(e) Expenses. The Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable expenses actually incurred by him in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder in accordance with policies established by the Company from time to time and upon receipt of appropriate documentation.

5. Termination. (a) The employment of the Executive hereunder shall terminate at the end of the Employment Term. The employment of the Executive hereunder may also be terminated at any time (i) by the Company with or without Cause (as defined in Section 5(b)(i) below); or (ii) by the Executive with or without Good Reason (as defined in Section 5(b)(ii) below) by notice of resignation delivered to the Company. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Change in Control occurs and if the Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the date on which the Change in Control occurs, and if it is reasonably demonstrated by the Executive that such termination of employment (i) was at the request of a third party who has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change in Control or (ii) otherwise arose in connection with or anticipation of a Change in Control, then the Executive shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as if he had been terminated without Cause (such a termination shall be referred to in this Agreement as a “Pre-Change in Control Termination”). At any time after a Disability (as defined in Section 5(b)(iii) below) occurs, provided that the Board, upon advice of a medical doctor selected in accordance with Section 5(b)(iii) hereof, determines that the Executive remains incapable of performing his essential duties and responsibilities hereunder, subject to applicable legal requirements, the Company may terminate the Executive’s employment effective forthwith after giving notice to the Executive of such termination. Further, if the Board, upon advice of a medical doctor selected in accordance with Section 5(b)(iii) hereof, shall reasonably determine that the Executive has become physically or mentally incapable of performing his essential duties and responsibilities as provided in this Agreement and such incapacity is likely to last for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days from the onset of such incapacity, the Company may, at its discretion at any time thereafter while the Executive remains incapable of performing his material duties hereunder, and subject to applicable legal requirements, remove the Executive from his then position with the Company; provided, further, that if he returns to full time employment, with the permission of the Board, prior to the time he is determined to have incurred a Disability, he shall be restored to his position or positions with the Company.

-3-

terminate the Executive’s employment under clauses (B), (C) or (D) unless the Company first gives the Executive notice of its intention to terminate and of the grounds for such termination within 90 days of the date a member of the Company’s Board (excluding the Executive), first becomes aware of such event, and in the case of a breach set forth in clause (B) above, the Executive either (X) has not, within 30 days following receipt of such notice, cured such Cause, or (Y) in the event such Cause cannot be cured within such 30-day period, has not taken all reasonable steps to cure such Cause. No termination for Cause shall be effective unless the Board makes a Cause determination after notice to the Executive and the Executive has been provided with the opportunity (with counsel of his choice) to contest the determination at a meeting of the Board.

(ii) “Good Reason” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following events without the Executive’s written consent or, in the case of clause (E) below, without prior written notice to, and the participation or consent of Winthrop, provided that the Executive first gives the Company written notice of his intention to terminate and of the grounds for such termination within 90 days of such event, and, with respect to clauses (A) – (D), the Company has not cured such Good Reason within thirty (30) days of the Executive giving the Company written notice thereof: (A) a material reduction of the Executive’s authority, duties and responsibilities, or the assignment to the Executive of duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s position or positions with the Company, (B) a reduction in the Executive’s rate of Base Salary; (C) a breach by the Company of any material provision of this Agreement; (D) the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based at any office or location located more than fifty (50) miles from the New York metropolitan area, or (E) the Company acquires or makes an Investment in Real Property other than a Net Lease Asset (as defined in that certain Acquisition Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2005, between Newkirk and First Union Real Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments) except for Investments in Real Property relating to those non-Net Lease Assets which the Company currently owns, is currently under contract to acquire, or has acquired an option to purchase. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any change of the Executive’s position with the Company to which the Executive consents in writing shall not constitute Good Reason. As used herein, the term “Investment in Real Property” shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of a fee, leasehold interest or other interest in real property or the providing of financing, including a participation interest, secured directly or indirectly by a fee, leasehold or other interest in real property or the ownership interests in an entity that owns, directly or indirectly, a fee, leasehold interest or other interest in real property; provided, however, that investments in equity securities of publicly traded real estate entities in an amount not to exceed two percent (2%) of the outstanding equity securities of such entity shall not be an Investment in Real Property.

(iii) “Disability” shall mean the mental or physical incapacity of the Executive such that (A) he qualifies for long-term disability benefits under a Company-sponsored long-term disability policy or (B) the Executive has been incapable as a result of illness, disease, mental or physical disability, disorder, infirmity, or impairment or similar cause of performing his essential duties and responsibilities for any period of one hundred eighty (180) days (whether or not consecutive) in any consecutive three hundred sixty-five (365) day period. Disability shall be determined by an approved medical doctor selected by the Company and the Executive. If the Company and the Executive cannot agree on a medical doctor, each party shall

(iv) “Change in Control” shall mean:

(A) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) (a “Person”) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (“Beneficial Ownership”) of 20% or more of either (i) the then outstanding common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (ii) the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of trustees (the “Outstanding Company Voting Securities”); provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (A), the following acquisitions shall not constitute a Change in Control: (1) any acquisition directly from the Company, (2) any acquisition by the Company, (3) any acquisition by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any entity controlled by the Company or (4) any acquisition by any entity pursuant to a transaction which complies with clauses (1), (2) and (3) of subsection (C) of this Section 5(b)(iv); or

-5-

Severance. (a)

If, during the Employment Term,

(1) the Executive terminates his employment with the Company for Good Reason; or

(2) the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause; or

(3) the Executive’s employment is terminated in a Pre-Change in Control Termination;

then, the Company shall have no liability or further obligation to the Executive except as follows: the Executive shall be entitled to receive, subject to Section 6(e):

(i) within 30 days of such termination of employment, any earned but unpaid Base Salary for the period prior to termination and any earned but unpaid bonuses, in cash, for prior periods which have ended at the time of such termination (“Entitlements”);

(ii) at the time provided in such plan, any rights to which he is entitled in accordance with such applicable plan or program provisions under any employee benefit plan, program or arrangement, fringe benefit or incentive plan (“Rights”);

-6-

(iv) a pro rata annual bonus, in cash, determined by (x) the number of days the Executive was employed by the Company during the fiscal year divided by 365, and multiplied by (y) his regular target bonus assuming achievement of 100% of all targets under Company’s executive bonus plan in effect for the fiscal year in which his termination occurs (by way of example only, 200% of Executive’s Base Salary under the current executive bonus plan) (or, if no such executive bonus plan is in effect, the executive bonus plan in effect of the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which his termination occurs); and

Additionally, upon the earlier of a Change in Control or a termination of the Executive’s employment under Section 6(a)(1), 6(a)(2) or 6(a)(3) above, all non-vested and/or unearned bonus and long-term incentive awards previously granted to the Executive, including but not limited to restricted stock, deferred share awards, and stock options shall earn and fully vest and become nonforfeitable.

Additionally, medical, dental, disability, life insurance and other employee welfare benefits (the “Welfare Plans”) then provided to senior executives of the Company shall be continued following the date of termination for a period of three (3) years and, if the Executive is precluded from participating in any Welfare Plan by its terms or applicable law during such period, the Company shall pay to the Executive in a lump sum the cash equivalent of the premiums or other contributions that the Company would otherwise pay under the terms of this Agreement as of the date of the Executive’s termination, or date of payment if later, to continue the Executive’s participation in the Welfare Plans for three years. As a condition of receiving the Severance Pay under Section 6(a)(iii) and Section 6(a)(iv) and the vesting of awards under Section 6(a) upon the Executive’s termination of Employment, the Executive agrees to execute a release thereby releasing the Company and its affiliates from any and all obligations and liabilities to the Executive arising from or in connection with the Executive’s employment or termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates and any disagreements with respect to such employment, except that such release shall not apply with respect to any rights of the Executive to indemnification under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or to any rights of the Executive to indemnification or directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage of the Company and its affiliates.

(b) If during the Employment Term, the Executive’s employment is terminated on account of death or Disability, the Company shall have no liability or further obligation to the Executive except as follows: the Executive (and his estate or designated beneficiaries under any Company-sponsored employee benefit plan in the event of his death) shall be entitled to receive, subject to Section 6(e):

-7-

(iii) all non-vested bonus and long-term incentive awards previously granted to the Executive, including but not limited to restricted stock, deferred share awards and stock options, shall earn and fully vest and become nonforfeitable; and

(iv) at the time such bonuses or payments would otherwise have been paid, a pro rata portion of the bonuses he would have received under the Company’s executive bonus plan in effect at the time of his termination had he remained employed by the Company for the full fiscal year in which his termination occurs, equal to the ratio of the number of days of his employment by the Company during such fiscal year to 365, and a pro rata portion of any payment he would have received or award that would have vested under any performance-based long-term incentive award program of the Company had he remained employed by the Company for the full performance period or periods in which his termination occurs, equal to the ratio of the number of days of his employment by the Company during such period to the full number of days in such period (such amounts to be referred to herein as the “Pro Rata Bonus and Incentive Payments”);

Additionally, the group health plan then provided to senior executives of the Company shall be continued following the date of termination for a period of two (2) years and, during such period, if the Executive is precluded from participating in such group health plan by its terms or applicable law, the Company shall pay to the Executive in cash the premiums or other contributions that the Company would otherwise pay as of the date of the Executive’s termination to continue the Executive’s participation in the group health plan for two years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the continuation period for group health benefits under Section 4980B of the Code by reason of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company shall be measured from his actual date of termination of employment. Except in the case of a termination in connection with or following a Change in Control or a Pre-Change in Control Termination, as a condition of receiving the Severance Pay under Section 6(b)(ii) and the bonus payments and accelerated vesting under Section 6(b)(iii) and (iv), the Executive, or the representative of his estate if he has died, agrees to execute a release thereby releasing the Company and its affiliates from any and all obligations and liabilities to the Executive arising from or in connection with the Executive’s employment or termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates and any disagreements with respect to such employment, except that such release shall not apply with respect to any rights of the Executive to indemnification under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws or to any rights of the Executive to indemnification or directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage of the Company and its affiliates.

(c) If during the Employment Term, the Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason and Section 6(a) (with respect to a Pre-Change in Control Termination) does not apply, the Company shall have no liability or further obligation to the Executive except as follows: the Executive shall be entitled to receive any Entitlements within 30 days of such termination of employment or, if later, the date such Entitlement would otherwise be paid to active employees of the Company, and any Rights at the time provided in the relevant plans.

(d) The payments made pursuant to this Section 6 shall be excluded from all pension and benefit calculations under the employee benefit plans of the

-8-

Company and its affiliates, except as otherwise provided in the applicable employee benefit plan.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary, if the Company determines in good faith that any payment or benefit to the Executive under this Section 6, or any vested shares of the Company’s common stock deferred to a rabbi trust for the benefit of the Executive, that, in either case, is payable to the Executive on account of his termination of employment with the Company, constitutes a “deferral of compensation” under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (as set forth in IRS Notice 2005-1, Q&A-4 or successor Temporary or Final Treasury Regulations) and the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), the Company shall delay commencement of any such payment or benefit until six months after the Executive’s last day of employment with the Company (the “409A Suspension Period”). Within fourteen calendar days after the end of the 409A Suspension Period, the Company shall pay to the Executive a lump sum payment in cash equal to any payments (including interest on any such payments, at an interest of not less than the prime interest rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, over the period such payment is restricted from being paid to the Executive) and benefits that the Company would otherwise have been required to provide under this Section 6 but for the imposition of the 409A Suspension Period. Thereafter, the Executive shall receive any remaining payments and benefits due under this Section 6 in accordance with the terms of this Section (as if there had not been any suspension period beforehand).

7. Covenants of the Executive. (a) From the date hereof until the Reversion Date (as defined in the Amendment to Acquisition Agreement and Assignment and Assumption, dated of even date herewith, among the Company, Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc. and Winthrop, (i) except for Permitted Investments, the Executive shall not, within any jurisdiction or marketing area in which the Company or any of its affiliates is doing business, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, control, consult with, be employed by or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of any business of the type and character engaged in or competitive with that conducted by the Company or any of its affiliates; provided, however, that the Company acknowledges that investments by Winthrop in non-Net Lease Assets are not a violation of this Section 7(a)(i); (ii) the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, employ, solicit for employment or otherwise contract for the services of any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates at the time of this Agreement or who shall subsequently become an employee of the Company or any such affiliate; provided, however, this subparagraph (ii) shall not apply to (A) the Executive’s personal secretary at the time of termination, (B) provided that Executive has not been terminated for Cause, Lara Johnson; provided further, that so long as Executive has not been terminated by the Company for Cause, it will not be a violation of this subparagraph (ii) if (x) any of the persons listed on Schedule 7(a)(ii) attached hereto approach Ashner about employment with Winthrop, FWG or WRP, (y) in response to such approach Executive offers such person employment at Winthrop, FWG or WRP at any time after July 15, 2007, and (z) Executive delivers written notice of such offer to the Company, including all the terms thereof, at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such offer; and (iii) the Executive will not solicit, in competition with the Company or its affiliates, any person who is, or was at any time within the twelve months prior to his termination of employment, a customer of the business conducted by the Company or any of its affiliates. For purposes of determining whether to permanently withhold, or recover, payments from the Executive pursuant to Section 7(d) hereof,

-9-

the Board shall determine what constitutes a competing business; provided that (x) the scope of businesses and the jurisdictions and marketing areas within which the Executive has agreed not to compete pursuant to clause (a)(i) of this Section 7 shall, for any challenged activity of the Executive, be determined as of the date of any such activity and (y) the Executive’s ownership of securities of two percent (2%) or less of any publicly traded class of securities of a public company shall not be considered to be competition with the Company or any of its affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provision of this Section 7(a) shall not apply following the Executive’s termination if the Executive is terminated by the Company without Cause or the Executive terminates for Good Reason or a Pre-Change in Control Termination.

(b) For the Employment Term and thereafter, (i) the Executive will not divulge, transmit or otherwise disclose (except as legally compelled by court order, and then only to the extent required, after prompt notice to the Company of any such order), directly or indirectly, other than in the regular and proper course of business of the Company, any confidential knowledge or information with respect to the operations, finances, organization or employees of the Company or with respect to confidential or secret processes, services, techniques, customers or plans with respect to the Company; and (ii) the Executive will not use (except as legally compelled by court order, and then only to the extent required, after prompt notice to the Company of any such order), directly or indirectly, any confidential information for the benefit of anyone other than the Company; provided, however, that the Executive has no obligation, express or implied, to refrain from using or disclosing to others any such knowledge or information which is or hereafter shall become available to the public other than through disclosure by the Executive. All new processes, techniques, know-how, inventions, plans, products, patents and devices developed, made or invented by the Executive, alone or with others, while an employee of the Company which are related to the business of the Company shall be and become the sole property of the Company, unless released in writing by the Company, and the Executive hereby assigns any and all rights therein or thereto to the Company.

(c) All files, records, correspondence, memoranda, notes or other documents (including, without limitation, those in computer-readable form) or property relating or belonging to the Company or its affiliates, whether prepared by the Executive or otherwise coming into his possession in the course of the performance of his services under this Agreement, shall be the exclusive property of Company and shall be delivered to Company and not retained by the Executive (including, without limitations, any copies thereof) upon termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

(d) The Executive acknowledges that a breach of his covenants contained in this Section 7 may cause irreparable damage to the Company and its affiliates, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, that the remedies at law for any such breach will be inadequate and that the amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(a)(iii), (iv) and the paragraphs following 6(a)(iv) and /or 6(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) hereunder are additional consideration for the covenants contained in this Section 7. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that if he breaches any of the covenants contained in this Section 7, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief. In addition, the breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7 shall entitle the Company to

-10-

permanently withhold, and to recover from the Executive any amounts paid to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 6(a)(iii), (iv) and the paragraphs following 6(a)(iv) and /or 6(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) of this Agreement. The Company shall provide the Executive with at least five days prior written notice before withholding of any payment provided for in the immediately preceding sentence.

(e) The Company and the Executive further acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic area and other provisions of this Section 7 have been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties and agree that all such provisions are reasonable under the circumstances of the activities contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that the agreements in this Section 7 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason of their extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical area or by reason of their being too extensive in any other respect, they shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for which they may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to which they may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects as to which they may be enforceable, all as determined by such court in such action.

(f) The Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term of Employment and thereafter (including following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), by making himself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the Company, or any affiliate, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Company’s Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any affiliate as reasonably requested; provided, however that the same does not materially interfere with his then current professional activities or important personal activities and is not contrary to the best interests of the Executive. The Company agrees to reimburse the Executive, on an after-tax basis, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance, and, if during the period following the Employment Term, the Company requests the Executive’s cooperation for a period of greater than 8 hours per month, the Company agrees to reimburse the Executive at a rate of $250.00 per hour.

(g) The Executive agrees that, during the Term of Employment and at any time thereafter (including following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) he will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any of its affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations. The Company agrees that, during the Employment Term, and at any time thereafter, (including following the Executive’s termination of employment for any reason) it will not make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Executive’s reputation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Executive or a representative of the Company from making truthful statements or disclosures that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.

-11-

(h) The Executive agrees that until the earlier of (i) November 1, 2009 and (ii) the termination of the Employment Term (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Executive (a) will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, grant any call option or purchase any put option with respect to, pledge, borrow or otherwise dispose of any Relevant Security (as defined below), and (b) will not establish or increase any “put equivalent position” or liquidate or decrease any “call equivalent position” with respect to any Relevant Security (in each case within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder), or otherwise enter into any swap, derivative or other transaction or arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any economic consequence of ownership of a Relevant Security, whether or not such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Relevant Securities, other securities, cash or other consideration. As used herein “Relevant Security” means shares of stock of the Company, the units of limited partnership interest in The Lexington Master Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), held by the Executive on the date hereof and any shares of stock of Company issued in redemption thereof as permitted by the following sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the undersigned shall have the right to have his units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership redeemed for shares of the Company’s stock, which shares of stock shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement and (ii) if (x) during the last 17 days of the Lock-Up Period the Company issues an earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs; or (y) prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of Lock-Up Period; the restrictions imposed in this Section 7(h) shall continue to apply until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the issuance of the earnings release or the occurrence of the material news or material event; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if the research published or distributed on the Company is compliant with Rule 139 of the Securities Act then in effect and the Company’s securities are actively traded as defined in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Executive hereby authorizes the Company during the Lock-Up Period to cause any transfer agent for the Relevant Securities to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the record holder and, in the case of Relevant Securities for which the undersigned is the beneficial but not the record holder, agrees during the Lock-Up Period to cause the record holder to cause the relevant transfer agent to decline to transfer, and to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to, such Relevant Securities. The undersigned hereby further agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Company, during the Lock-up Period the undersigned (x) will not file or participate in the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of any registration statement, or circulate or participate in the circulation of any preliminary or final prospectus or other disclosure document with respect to any proposed offering or sale of a Relevant Security and (y) will not exercise any rights the undersigned may have to require registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission of any proposed offering or sale of a Relevant Security.

8. Special Tax Provision. (a) In the event it shall be determined that any amount or benefit paid with respect to the Executive, (whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan, arrangement or agreement with the Company, any person whose

-12-

actions result in a change of ownership covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code or any person affiliated with the Company or such person), as a result of any change in ownership of the Company or Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc. covered by Code Section 280G(b)(2) (collectively, the “Covered Payments”) is subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code and/or any interest or penalties with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax is hereinafter referred to as the “Excise Tax”), the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional payment (the “Tax Reimbursement Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Executive of all taxes (including any Excise Tax) (including, without limitation, income taxes) imposed upon the Tax Reimbursement Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Tax Reimbursement Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Covered Payments.

(b) For purposes of determining the amount of the Tax Reimbursement Payment, the Executive shall be deemed to (i) pay Federal income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of Federal income taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement Payment is to be made and (ii) pay any applicable state and local income taxes at the highest applicable marginal rate of income taxation for the calendar year in which the Tax Reimbursement Payment is to be made, net of the maximum reduction in Federal income taxes which could be obtained from deduction of such state and local taxes if paid in such year.

(c) (i) (A) All determinations under this Section 8, including whether and when a Tax Reimbursement Payment is required and the amount of such Tax Reimbursement Payment and the assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company’s outside legal counsel (based on calculations made by a benefits consulting firm or by independent certified public accountants appointed by the Company) or by independent certified public accountants appointed by the Company (collectively the “Tax Advisor”).

(B) In the event that the Tax Advisor determines, for any reason whatsoever, the correct amount of the Tax Reimbursement Payment to be less than the amount determined at the time the Tax Reimbursement Payment was made, the Executive shall repay to the Company, within thirty days after the time that the amount of such reduction in Tax Reimbursement Payment is determined by the Tax Advisor, the portion of the prior Tax Reimbursement Payment attributable to such reduction (including the portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment attributable to the Excise Tax and federal, state and local income tax imposed on the portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment being repaid by the Executive, using the assumptions and methodology utilized to calculate the Tax Reimbursement Payment (unless manifestly erroneous)), plus interest on the amount of such repayment at the rate provided in Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code.

(ii) In the event that the determination set forth in (A) above is made by the Tax Advisor after the filing by the Executive of any of his tax returns for the calendar year in which the change in ownership event covered by Code Section 280G(b)(2) occurred but prior to the date the statute of limitations has expired for refund claims, the Executive shall file at the request of the Company an amended tax return in accordance with the Tax Advisor’s determination, but no portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment shall be required to be refunded to the Company until actual refund or credit of such portion has been

-13-

made to the Executive, and interest payable to the Company shall not exceed the interest received or credited to the Executive by such tax authority for the period it held such portion (less any tax the Executive must pay on such interest and which the Executive is unable to deduct as a result of payment of the refund).

(iii) In the event that the Excise Tax is later determined by the Tax Advisor or the Internal Revenue Service to exceed the amount taken into account hereunder at the time the Tax Reimbursement Payment is made (including by reason of any payment the existence or amount of which cannot be determined at the time of the Tax Reimbursement Payment), the Company shall make an additional Tax Reimbursement Payment in respect of such excess (plus any interest or penalties payable with respect to such excess) once the amount of such excess is finally determined.

(iv) In the event of any controversy with the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) under this Section 8, the Executive shall promptly notify the Company of such controversy and provide all documents provided by the Internal Revenue Service (or other taxing authority) to the Executive within 10 days of receipt of such documents. The Executive shall permit the Company to control issues related to this Section 8, provided that such issues do not potentially materially adversely affect the Executive; provided further, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax thereon, including interest and penalties, which is payable to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof. In the event any issues do potentially materially adversely affect the Executive, the Executive and the Company shall in good faith cooperate so as not to jeopardize resolution of the issues, but if the parties cannot agree the Company shall make the final determination with regard to the issues; provided further, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax thereon, including interest and penalties, which is payable to the Executive pursuant to the provisions of Section 8(a) hereof. In the event of any conference with any taxing authority as to the Excise Tax or associated income taxes, the Executive shall permit a representative of the Company to accompany the Executive, and the Executive and his representative shall cooperate with the Company and its representative.

(v) With regard to any initial filing for a refund or any other action required pursuant to this Section 8 (other then by mutual agreement) or, if not required, agreed to by the Company and the Executive, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Company.

(d) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Tax Advisor to promptly deliver the initial determination required hereunder within forty-five (45) days after the change in ownership covered by Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code. The Tax Reimbursement Payment, or any portion thereof, payable by the Company shall be paid not later than the thirtieth (30th) day following the determination by the Tax Advisor. The amount of such payment shall be subject to later adjustment in accordance with the

-14-

determination of the Tax Advisor as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall payment of the Tax Reimbursement Payment occur before the earlier of the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company or a “change in control event” within the meaning of Proposed Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(g)(5) or any successor Temporary or Final Treasury Regulation (a “Qualifying Change in Control”); however, if the Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) and any Covered Payment is made in connection with the Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, then any portion of the Tax Reimbursement Payment that is attributable to such Covered Payments shall be paid to the Executive on the date that is six months after the Executive’s last day of employment with the Company. If the Executive becomes entitled to receive a Tax Reimbursement Payment in connection with a change in control that is not a Qualifying Change in Control, the unpaid Tax Reimbursement Payment shall accrue interest an annual interest rate of prime plus one-percent until paid immediately following the Executive’s last day of employment; however, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i), then the Company shall pay the Executive the deferred Tax Reimbursement Payment on the date that is six months after the Executive’s last day of employment with the Company.

(e) The Company shall be responsible for all charges of the Tax Advisor.

(f) The Executive and the Company shall mutually agree on and promulgate further guidelines in accordance with this Section 8 to the extent, if any, necessary to effect the reversal of excessive, or a shortfall in, Tax Reimbursement Payments.

(g) The payments made pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall be excluded from all pension and benefit calculations under the employee benefit plans of the Company and its affiliates.

9. Representations and Warranties of the Executive. Executive hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof (a) Executive is in full compliance with the terms of that certain Exclusivity Services Agreement, dated as of November 7, 2005 between Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc. and Executive and that certain Exclusivity Services Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2003 between First Union Real Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments and Executive (now known as Winthrop Realty Trust) (collectively, the “Exclusivity Agreements”) and (b) First Union Real Estate Equity and Mortgage Investments has no claims for breach with respect to any of the Exclusivity Agreements. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive do not, and the performance of Executive’s obligations hereunder will not, result in any breach of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment or cancellation of, any of the Exclusivity Agreements.

10. Notices. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when personally delivered or when mailed, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to the following addresses:

AGREEMENT

1. Scope of Agreement. Winthrop hereby agrees to provide, at Winthrop’s own expense, certain accounting, tax, financial reporting, investor relations and information technology support services to Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The nature and scope of each Service (as defined below) are described in Section 3 of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of the Transition Date (as defined below), Winthrop will stop providing each category of Services under this Agreement.

2. Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall commence on the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated (the “Closing Date”) and shall end on the first anniversary thereof (the “Termination Date”); provided, Winthrop’s obligation to provide each category of Services pursuant to Section 3 hereof shall terminate on the ninetieth day following the Closing Date (the “Transition Date”).

3. Services to be Provided by Winthrop. Until the Transition Date, Winthrop shall provide Company with those transition services described on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the “Services”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any of the Services listed on Exhibit A do not constitute Past Practice, they shall nevertheless constitute Services hereunder and Winthrop will be obligated to provide such Services pursuant to the terms hereof.

4. Level of Services. Winthrop will use the same degree of care in rendering the Services under this Agreement as it utilizes in rendering such Services for its own operations and its other clients. Company shall cooperate with Winthrop to permit Winthrop to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement in a timely manner (including, without limitation, providing to Winthrop any reports or other information required by Winthrop to discharge its duties hereunder).

THIS OWNERSHIP LIMIT WAIVER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of ______ __, 2006, is between Lexington Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), and Apollo Real Estate Investment Fund III, L.P. (“AREIF 3”), a Delaware limited partnership (together with any entity at least 99% of the voting securities of which are owned by AREIF 3, “Apollo”). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in the hereinafter-mentioned Declaration.

R E C I T A L S

A. The Company and Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Newkirk”) have entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 23, 2006 (the “Merger Agreement”).

B. Article IX of the Company’s Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration”) contains (1) a restriction prohibiting any Person from Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning outstanding shares of beneficial interest in the Company which are classified as Common Stock or Preferred Stock (the “Equity Stock”) in excess of 9.8% of the value of the outstanding Equity Stock of the Company (the “Ownership Limit”) and (2) a restriction setting forth that any sale, transfer, gift, hypothecation, pledge, assignment devise or other disposition of Equity Stock of the Company that, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Equity Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of that number of shares of Equity Stock which would be otherwise Beneficially or Constructively Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such excess shares of Equity Stock.

C. Pursuant to subparagraph (a)(9) of Article IX of the Declaration, the Company’s Board of Trustees has adopted resolutions approving Apollo’s exemption from the Ownership Limit on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

AGREEMENT

1.	WAIVER OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT

1.1 Pursuant to Section 7.26 of the Merger Agreement, the Company exempts Apollo, effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and subject to the terms herein, from the Ownership Limit solely (A) to the extent of Apollo’s ownership of the lesser of (1) the number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company into which ____________¹ NRT OP Units, NRT Common Stock

_________________________

¹ Number will equal the number of NRT OP Units held by Apollo at signing which will not exceed 23,359,046

(each as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any combination thereof are exchangeable pursuant to the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (2) the number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company into which NRT OP Units, NRT Common Stock or combination thereof, owned by Apollo as of the Effective Time, are exchangeable pursuant to the Merger, and (3) any lesser number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company owned by Apollo from time to time following the Effective Time, and (B) upon and subject to Apollo’s compliance with Section 2.2 below and its continued compliance with the covenants referred to therein. This exemption shall not apply to any other shares of Equity Stock of the Company Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by Apollo.

1.2 For avoidance of doubt, (x) following any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition by Apollo of NRT OP Units or shares of Equity Stock of the Company, the exemption granted by the Company hereunder shall exempt Apollo from the Ownership Limit only with respect to the maximum aggregate number of NRT OP Units and shares of Equity Stock of the Company, as the case may be, owned by Apollo immediately after such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition and after each such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition by Apollo anytime thereafter and (y) under no circumstances shall this exemption apply to any NRT OP Units or shares of Equity Stock of the Company acquired by Apollo at any time after the date of this Agreement.

2.	LIMITATIONS AND OTHER MATTERS

2.1 The exemption set forth in Section 1 above (the “Ownership Limit Waiver”) shall not be effective if and to the extent that, as a result of Apollo’s ownership of Equity Stock of the Company permitted by reason of the Ownership Limit Waiver, (A) the Company would be considered to own (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) an interest described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code in an “Apollo Related Tenant” (as defined in Section 2.4 herein), or (B) any “individual” (within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code) ) would be considered to “own” (within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code) any of the shares of Equity Stock of the Company covered by the Ownership Limit Waiver, of more than 9.8% (by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive) of the total outstanding shares of Equity Stock of the Company (whether or not such ownership causes the Company to be “closely held” under the REIT rules). In addition, if the Ownership Limit Waiver is not effective as a result of the operation of any clause(s) of the preceding sentence, the Equity Stock of the Company that otherwise would be Excess Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Company in accordance with subparagraph (b)(1) of Article IX of the Declaration.

2.2 For the Ownership Limit Waiver to be effective, Apollo must execute a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and complete and make the representations and covenants set forth in the Certificate of Representations and Covenants, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate”), and must deliver such Certificate to the Company. Except as otherwise determined by the

Board of Trustees of the Company, the Ownership Limit Waiver shall cease to be effective upon any breach of the representations or covenants set forth herein or in the Certificate. In addition, if the Ownership Limit Waiver ceases to be effective as a result of the operation of the preceding sentence, the shares of Equity Stock of the Company that would otherwise be Excess Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Company in accordance with subparagraph (b)(1) of Article IX of the Declaration.

2.3 Apollo shall deliver to the Company, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Company (it being acknowledged that the Company may reasonably make such request on at least a calendar quarterly basis), a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Apollo to the effect that Apollo has complied and expects to continue to comply with its representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Certificate. If so requested by the Company, Apollo will cooperate with the Company in investigating any direct or indirect relationship that Apollo and any Person whose ownership of shares of Equity Stock of the Company would be attributed to Apollo under Section 318(a) of the Code (as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), may have with the Company’s tenants or “independent contractors” (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) for purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of this Ownership Limit Waiver and in updating the Certificate accordingly. However, the Company’s remedies under this Agreement with respect to Apollo’s representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Certificate shall become effective only if and for the taxable years of the Company during which Apollo requires the exemptions afforded to Apollo under this Agreement (the “Waiver Period”).

2.4 For purposes of this Agreement, “Apollo Related Tenant” means any entity (x) in which Apollo owns during the Waiver Period (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), in the case of a corporation, shares equal to or greater than the “Threshold Percentage” (as defined in Section 2.5 herein) of either the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such entity entitled to vote or the total value of shares of all classes of stock of such entity or, in the case of an entity that is not a corporation, an interest equal to or greater than the Threshold Percentage in the assets or net profits of such entity (such actual or Constructive ownership equal to or greater than the Threshold Percentage being hereinafter called a “Related Interest”), (y) from which the Company is or will be deriving rental income (other than a taxable REIT subsidiary, if the requirements of Section 856(d)(8) of the Code are satisfied) and (z) included in the tenant list (the “Tenant List”) attached hereto as Exhibit B (or added to such Tenant List pursuant to the next sentence), unless the Board of Trustees of the Company has determined that the Company derives (and is expected to continue to derive) an amount of gross rental income that is sufficiently small so as not to adversely affect the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT. The Company may add an entity to the Tenant List from time to time by written notice (which may be made by email witih a written confirmation copy to follow within one business day by hand, facisimile or overnight delivery) to Apollo and Apollo shall promptly review any such revisions to the Tenant List (reflecting substitute or additional tenants) at the request of the Company and recertify

its acknowledgment and agreement under this Agreement to such Tenant List within three (3) business days of the date of such written notice, which response may initially be made by email, but shall be followed within two (2) business days thereafter with a hard copy of recertification of the Certificate in Exhibit A with the updated Tenant List attached (the “Response Period”), provided, however, that if such notice is delivered at a time when Apollo owns a Related Interest in such entity that would result in the Company’s owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in such entity described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, then, subject to the following proviso, such entity shall not be added to the Tenant List so long as Apollo so notifies the Company within the Response Period, which response shall include Apollo’s percentage owned in such entity; provided, further, that if such notice is given at a time when either Apollo’s interest in such entity has a fair market value of less than $1,000,000 or Apollo is engaged in active discussions regarding a potential acquisition of a Related Interest in such entity that would result in the Company’s owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in such entity described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, then Apollo shall so notify the Company within the Response Period, and the parties shall jointly determine in good faith, based on the parties’ relative economic interests and REIT qualification interests with respect to such entity, whether such entity shall be added to the Tenant List. Apollo shall advise the Company of the percentage ownership that its Related Interest represents in each Apollo Related Tenant not later than five days following the date of the Company’s request for such information.

2.5 For purposes of Section 2.4 above, the “Threshold Percentage” shall mean the percentage which, taking into account the shares or other ownership interests in the applicable tenant held by each other holder of shares of Equity Stock of the Company (as of the date of determination) who or which has been granted an exemption from the Ownership Limit (an “Exempt Holder”), would cause the Company to own (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) stock or other ownership interests in such applicable tenant equal to or grater than 9.8%. If more than one Exempt Holder owns shares or other ownership interests with respect to the applicable tenant that, in the aggregate, amount to 9.8% or greater, then each such Exempt Holder’s Threshold Percenage in such applicable tenant shall mean the percentage determined by dividing 9.8% by the number of such Exempt Holders as of the date of determination. The Company hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, the Company has granted waivers of Article IX of the Declaration to those Persons and in such amounts as set forth on Exhibit C hereto.

3.	MISCELLANEOUS

3.1 All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland.

3.2 This Agreement may be signed by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so signed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

3.3 All references to any Code provision shall be deemed to include any successor provisions of the Code and any regulatory, judicial or administrative amendment or interpretation of such statutory provisions.

Each of the parties has caused this Agreement to be signed by its duly authorized officers as of the date set forth in the introductory paragraph hereof.

Article IX of the Company’s Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration”) contains (1) a restriction prohibiting any Person from Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning outstanding shares of beneficial interest in the Company which are classified as Common Stock or Preferred Stock (the “Equity Stock”) in excess of 9.8% of the value of the outstanding Equity Stock of the Company (the “Ownership Limit”) and (2) a restriction setting forth that any sale, transfer, gift, hypothecation, pledge, assignment, devise or other disposition of Equity Stock of the Company that, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Equity Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of that number of shares of Equity Stock which would be otherwise Beneficially or Constructively Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such excess shares of Equity Stock.

C. Pursuant to subparagraph (a)(9) of Article IX of the Declaration, the Company’s Board of Trustees has adopted resolutions approving Vornado’s exemption from the Ownership Limit on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

AGREEMENT

1.	WAIVER OF OWNERSHIP LIMIT

1.1 Pursuant to Section 7.26 of the Merger Agreement, the Company exempts Vornado, effective as of the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and subject to the terms herein, from the Ownership Limit solely (A) (i) to the extent of Vornado’s ownership of the lesser of (1) the number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company into which [10,186,991] NRT OP Units, NRT Common Stock (each as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any combination thereof are exchangeable pursuant to the Merger (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (2) the number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company into which NRT OP Units, NRT Common Stock or combination thereof, owned by Vornado as of the Effective Time, are exchangeable pursuant to the Merger; and (3) any lesser number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company owned by Vornado from time to time following the Effective Time, plus (ii) to the extent of Vornado’s Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Equity

Stock of the Company that is owned by Winthrop Realty Trust or WRT Realty L.P. (together “Winthrop”), but in no event more than the lesser of (1) the number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company into which [4,375,000] NRT Common Stock owned by Winthrop are exchangeable pursuant to the Merger; (2) the number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company into which NRT Common Stock, owned by Winthrop as of the Effective Time, are exchangeable pursuant to the Merger; and (3) any lesser number of shares of Equity Stock of the Company owned by Winthrop from time to time following the Effective Time, and (B) upon and subject to Vornado’s compliance with Section 2.2 below and its continued compliance with the covenants referred to therein. This exemption shall not apply to any other shares of Equity Stock of the Company Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by Vornado.

1.2 For avoidance of doubt, (x) following any sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition by Vornado (or Winthrop) of NRT OP Units or shares of Equity Stock of the Company, the exemption granted by the Company hereunder shall exempt Vornado from the Ownership Limit only with respect to the maximum aggregate number of NRT OP Units and shares of Equity Stock of the Company, as the case may be, owned by Vornado (or Winthrop) immediately after such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition and after each such sale, assignment, transfer or disposition by Vornado (or Winthrop) anytime thereafter and (y) under no circumstances shall this exemption apply to any NRT OP Units or shares of Equity Stock of the Company acquired by Vornado (or Winthrop) at any time after the date of this Agreement.

2.	LIMITATIONS AND OTHER MATTERS

2.1 The exemption set forth in Section 1 above (the “Ownership Limit Waiver”) shall not be effective if and to the extent that, as a result of Vornado’s ownership of Equity Stock of the Company permitted by reason of the Ownership Limit Waiver, (A) the Company would be considered to own (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) an interest described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code in a “Vornado Related Tenant” (as defined in Section 2.4 herein), or (B) any “individual” (within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of the Code) would be considered to “own” (within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code) any of the shares of Equity Stock of the Company covered by the Ownership Limit Waiver, of more than 9.8% (by number of shares or value, whichever is more restrictive) of the total outstanding shares of Equity Stock of the Company (whether or not such ownership causes the Company to be “closely held” under the REIT rules). In addition, if the Ownership Limit Waiver is not effective as a result of the operation of any clause(s) of the preceding sentence, the Equity Stock of the Company that otherwise would be Excess Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Company in accordance with subparagraph (b)(1) of Article IX of the Declaration.

2.2 For the Ownership Limit Waiver to be effective, Vornado must execute a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and complete and make the representations and covenants set forth in the Certificate of Representations and Covenants, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate”), and must deliver such Certificate to the Company. Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Trustees of the Company, the Ownership Limit Waiver shall cease to be effective upon any breach of the representations or covenants set forth herein or in the Certificate. In addition, if the Ownership Limit Waiver

- 2 -

ceases to be effective as a result of the operation of the preceding sentence, the shares of Equity Stock of the Company that would otherwise be Excess Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Company in accordance with subparagraph (b)(1) of Article IX of the Declaration.

2.3 Vornado shall deliver to the Company, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Company (it being acknowledged that the Company may reasonably make such request on at least a calendar quarterly basis), a certificate signed by an authorized officer of Vornado to the effect that Vornado has complied and expects to continue to comply with its representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Certificate. If so requested by the Company, Vornado will cooperate with the Company in investigating any direct or indirect relationship that Vornado and any Person whose ownership of shares of Equity Stock of the Company would be attributed to Vornado under Section 318(a) of the Code (as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), may have with the Company’s tenants or “independent contractors” (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code), including but not limited to Vornado’s relationship with Winthrop, for purposes of determining compliance with the provisions of this Ownership Limit Waiver and in updating the Certificate accordingly. However, the Company’s remedies under this Agreement with respect to Vornado’s representations and covenants set forth in this Agreement and the Certificate shall become effective only if and for the taxable years of the Company during which Vornado requires the exemptions afforded to Vornado under this Agreement (the “Waiver Period”).

2.4 For purposes of this Agreement, “Vornado Related Tenant” means any entity (x) in which Vornado owns during the Waiver Period (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), in the case of a corporation, shares equal to or greater than the “Threshold Percentage” (as defined in Section 2.5 herein) of either the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such entity entitled to vote or the total value of shares of all classes of stock of such entity or, in the case of an entity that is not a corporation, an interest equal to or greater than the Threshold Percentage in the assets or net profits of such entity (such actual or Constructive ownership equal to or greater than the Threshold Percentage being hereinafter called a “Related Interest”), (y) from which the Company is or will be deriving rental income (other than a taxable REIT subsidiary, if the requirements of Section 856(d)(8) of the Code are satisfied) and (z) included in the tenant list (the “Tenant List”) attached hereto as Exhibit B (or added to such Tenant List pursuant to the next sentence), unless the Board of Trustees of the Company has determined that the Company derives (and is expected to continue to derive) an amount of gross rental income that is sufficiently small so as not to adversely affect the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT. The Company may add an entity to the Tenant List from time to time by written notice (which may be made by email with a written confirmation copy to follow within one business day by hand, facsimile or overnight delivery) to Vornado and Vornado shall promptly review any such revisions to the Tenant List (reflecting substitute or additional tenants) at the request of the Company and recertify its acknowledgment and agreement under this Agreement to such Tenant List within three (3) business days of the date of such written notice, which response may initially be made by email, but shall be followed within two (2) business days thereafter with a hard copy of recertification of the Certificate in Exhibit A with the updated Tenant List attached (the “Response Period”), provided, however, that if such notice is delivered at a time when Vornado owns a Related Interest in such entity that would result in the Company’s

- 3 -

owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in such entity described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, then, subject to the following proviso, such entity shall not be added to the Tenant List so long as Vornado so notifies the Company within the Response Period, which response shall include Vornado’s percentage owned in such entity; provided, further, that if such notice is given at a time when either Vornado’s interest in such entity has a fair market value of less than $1,000,000 or Vornado is engaged in active discussions regarding a potential acquisition of a Related Interest in such entity that would result in the Company’s owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in such entity described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, then Vornado shall so notify the Company within the Response Period, and the parties shall jointly determine in good faith, based on the parties’ relative economic interests and REIT qualification interests with respect to such entity, whether such entity shall be added to the Tenant List. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Toys “R” Us, Inc. shall not be included in the Tenant List. Vornado shall advise the Company of the percentage ownership that its Related Interest represents in each Vornado Related Tenant not later than five days following the date of the Company’s request for such information.

2.5 For purposes of Section 2.4 above, the “Threshold Percentage” shall mean the percentage which, taking into account the shares or other ownership interests in the applicable tenant held by each other holder of shares of Equity Stock of the Company (as of the date of determination) who or which has been granted an exemption from the Ownership Limit (an “Exempt Holder”), would cause the Company to own (actually or Constructively, applying the provisions of Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) stock or other ownership interests in such applicable tenant equal to or greater than 9.8%. If more than one Exempt Holder owns shares or other ownership interests with respect to the applicable tenant that, in the aggregate, amount to 9.8% or greater , then each such Exempt Holder’s Threshold Percentage in such applicable tenant shall mean the percentage determined by dividing 9.8% by the number of such Exempt Holders as of the date of determination. The Company hereby represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, the Company has granted waivers of Article IX of the Declaration to those Persons and in such amounts as set forth on Exhibit C hereto.

Exhibit I

FUNDING AGREEMENT

This FUNDING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of _______, 2006, is made by and among Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. (“LCIF”), Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P. (“LCIF II”), Net 3 Acquisition L.P. (“Net 3”), The Lexington Master Limited Partnership (f/k/a The Newkirk Master Limited Partnership) (the “MLP,” and each, an “Operating Partnership” and, collectively, the “Operating Partnerships”) and Lexington Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust, (f/k/a Lexington Corporate Properties Trust) (“LXP”).

Recitals

WHEREAS, in connection with the merger of Newkirk Realty Trust, Inc. (“NRT”) with and into LXP, effective as of the date hereof (the “Merger”), LXP acquired NRT’s general and limited partner interests in the MLP and LXP is the indirect general partner of each of the other Operating Partnerships;

WHEREAS, cash distributions are made quarterly (the “Common OP Distributions”) pursuant to the partnership agreements of each of the Operating Partnerships (“Operating Agreements”) to the respective holders of limited partnership interests (other than the preferred limited partnership units) (the “Common OP Units”);

WHEREAS, LXP entered into the Merger on the condition, among others, that LXP and the Operating Partnerships have jointly and severally agreed to fund each of the Operating Partnerships’ obligations to make Common OP Distributions to the extent of a Shortfall (defined below);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Distribution Obligations. From and after the Effective Time (as hereinafter defined), if any Operating Partnership does not have sufficient cash available to make its quarterly Common OP Distributions in an amount equal to either (i) a specified distribution as set forth in the applicable Operating Agreement with respect to the holder of such Common OP Unit or (ii) the cash dividend payable with respect to a whole or fractional share of LXP common shares into which such Common OP Unit would be converted if such Common OP Unit would be redeemed for LXP common shares, as set forth in the applicable Operating Agreement, then LXP and the other Operating Partnerships hereby jointly and severally undertake to fund such Operating Partnership with, as applicable, the difference between (x) the lesser of the amount set forth in the foregoing clause (i) or (ii) and (y) the amount of cash available to such Operating Partnership for distribution (the “Shortfall”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a) The Operating Partnerships shall be required to create and maintain reserves as appropriate to fund their foregoing obligation.

(b) With respect to their joint obligations to each other, each Operating Partnership (other than the Operating Partnership that has a Shortfall) (the “Non-Shortfall OPs”) and LXP shall be responsible to fund its Pro Rata Share (defined below) of the Shortfall on the date determined by LXP in its discretion. Each Non-Shortfall OPs and LXP’s “Pro Rata Share” shall mean for this purpose as of the relevant date, 100% times a fraction:

(i)

the numerator of which equals,

(1) with respect to each Non-Shortfall OP, the number of outstanding Common OP Units of such Operating Partnership (including those beneficially owned by LXP); and

(2) with respect to LXP, the number of outstanding LXP common shares less the number of Common OP Units in all of the Operating Partnerships (including the Operating Partnership with the Shortfall) beneficially owned by LXP; and

(ii) the denominator of which equals the aggregate of (i) total number of outstanding Common OP Units (including those beneficially owned by LXP) of all of the Non-Shortfall OPs, plus (ii) the amount determined in accordance with Section 1(b)(i)(2) above;

provided, however, if Common OP Units have a redemption factor other than one, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the foregoing formula.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1(b), LXP, in its discretion, may cause itself or any one or more of the Operating Partnerships to contribute more or less than its Pro Rata Share to the funding of the Shortfall.

(d) The amount of any dividend with respect to the LXP common shares and the timing of their declaration and payment shall be made by LXP in its sole discretion.

(e) Each Operating Partnership’s obligations hereunder shall be subordinate to such Operating Partnership’s obligation, if any, to make current or liquidating distributions on its own respective outstanding Common OP Units and preferred OP Units issued with respect to preferred shares of beneficial interest of LXP classified as (i) 8.05% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and (ii) 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

2. Repayment Obligation. Amounts advanced by any Operating Partnership or LXP on account of the Shortfall shall be deemed an inter-company loan(s) to the Operating Partnership that suffered the Shortfall. Such inter-company loan shall bear interest at prevailing rates as determined by LXP in its discretion; provided, however, that the interest rate shall be no less than the “applicable federal rate” (or similar replacement rate) set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Any payment of principal or interest on account of any such inter-company loan(s) shall be at all times subordinate and subject to the obligations of the borrowing Operating Partnership hereunder.

3. Amendments to the Operating Agreements and Certificate of Designation. The Operating Partnerships shall remain obligated under this Agreement

notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Operating Partnerships, the Certificate of Designation and the Operating Agreement of each Operating Partnership, and the Articles Supplementary may, from time to time, be amended, restated, replaced, modified or supplemented.

4. Term of Agreement. (a) This Agreement shall commence on January 1, 2007 only if the Consolidation (as hereinafter defined) has not yet then occurred (the “Effective Time”). If the Consolidation shall occur at any time after the Effective Time, the rights of the MLP to receive Shortfall advances hereunder shall cease but the obligations of the MLP to make Shortfall advances shall continue until the termination of this Agreement. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Operating Partnerships until the latest of the date on which (i) no OP Units remain outstanding under any Operating Agreement; and (ii) if applicable, each Operating Partnership has repaid the inter-company loan(s) set forth in Section 2.

(b) As used in this Section 4, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Consolidation” means the contribution by LXP and its affiliates of 100% of their economic interests in the LXP Entities to the MLP in exchange for ownership interests in the MLP.

“LXP Entities” means the Operating Partnerships (other than the MLP), Lexington Acquiport Company, LLC, Lexington Acquiport Company II, LLC, Lexington/Lion Venture L.P., Triple Net Investment Company LLC, Lexington Columbia L.L.C., the tenancy in common referred to as “Oklahoma City” in LXP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, LXP Olympe Investments S.àr.l., Lexington Strategic Asset Corp., and all other subsidiaries of LXP that are partnerships, joint ventures or limited liability companies.

5. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

6. Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended or supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by each of the Operating Partnerships and LXP. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Operating Partnerships and shall inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns and those of LXP.

7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
