3. Amendment to Article II. Article II of the Partnership

as follows:
2.8 Treatment of the Partnership Properties as Qualified Properties.
(a) It is the intention of the parties that the Partnership
Properties be regarded as Qualified Properties, notwithstanding that (i)
the Partnership is not an SP Subsidiary, and (ii) the Company does not
have an interest in the Partnership Properties. Accordingly, for
purposes of this Agreement (and the agreements and arrangements
contemplated by this Agreement), the Members agree that, subject to the
provisions of this Section 2.8, the Partnership Properties shall be
deemed to be "Qualified Properties" for purposes of this Agreement as of
the date they are acquired by the Partnership and that, without limiting
the generality of the foregoing: (i) LXP, acting through Lexington TNI,
shall manage the Partnership Properties and the Partnership in
accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of Article III hereof
and that LXP shall obtain the consent of the Fund in each instance in
which such consent would otherwise have been required if the Partnership
Properties were owned by the Company; (ii) capital contributions made by
the LXP and the Fund to the Partnership shall be credited toward the
Members' Capital Commitment requirements under this Agreement; (iii)
capital contributions made by the LXP and the Fund to the Partnership,
Acquisition Fees and Financing Fees paid by the Fund in its capacity as
a limited partner of the Partnership, and distributions, if any, paid by
the Partnership to LXP and the Fund shall be factored into the
calculation of "12% IRR" under this Agreement; (iv) the Manager and the
Asset Manager, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive the
Acquisition Fees, Financing Fees, Management Fees and Oversight Fees
with respect to the Partnership Properties; (v) for purposes of Section
3.7, and Section 11.1, the Right of First Refusal and Buy/Sell Property,
as applicable, shall be deemed to include the Other Partner's Interest;
(vi) for purposes of Section 3.8, the total debt of the Company shall
include any debt related to the Partnership Properties; (vii) for
purposes of Section 8.3, the Removal Amount shall include the net
proceeds from the sale of the Partnership Properties; and (viii) for
purposes of Section 11.2 and Schedule 5, the average maturity and Fair
Market Value tests which are applicable to the Redemption Right granted
to the Fund shall include the Partnership Properties and the references
to "Retained Qualified Properties" and "Proposed Tendered Qualified
Properties" shall include, with respect to the Partnership Properties,
the Other Partner's Interest, as applicable.
2
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a), the Members
agree that while their intent is to treat the Partnership Properties as
if they were Qualified Properties hereunder, in order to avoid "double
counting", the Members further acknowledge that: (i) the Company shall
not call for capital from the Members, and the Members shall not make
capital contributions to the Company, in respect of the Partnership
Properties, provided, however, that if either LXP or the Fund fails,
with respect to the Partnership Properties, to (x) make a required
Capital Contribution, Additional Capital Contribution, Extraordinary
Capital Contribution or Extraordinary Loan (as such terms are defined in
the Malvern Owner LP Agreement) or (y) satisfy a claim under the Default
Amount or Claim Amount (as such terms are defined in the Partnership
Agreement), as the case may be, with respect thereto shall be a Default
Amount or Claim Amount, as the case may be, under this Agreement (as
well as the Partnership Agreement) which results in an adjustment to the
Percentage Interests in this Agreement (as well as the Partnership
Agreement); (ii) the Members shall not receive distributions from the
Company in respect of the Partnership Properties by virtue of their
interests in the Company (which distributions shall be payable by the
Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement); (iii) the Members
shall not be allocated profits and losses (or items thereof) in respect
of the Partnership Properties by virtue of their interests in the
Company (which allocations shall be applied by the Partnership pursuant
to the Partnership Agreement); (iv) expenses exclusively attributable to
the Partnership Properties shall not be treated as expenses of the
Company; (v) revenues generated by the Partnership Properties shall not
be treated as revenues of the Company; and (vi) the governing
instruments of the Partnership and the SP Subsidiaries formed to acquire
Partnership Properties may not be amended without consent of all of the
Members.

with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to
the provisions, policies or principles thereof relating to choice or conflict of
laws.
