On June

named therein, on the one hand, and The Lexington Master Limited Partnership,
Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P., Lepercq Corporate Income Fund II L.P., Net 3
Acquisition L.P. and us, on the other. Pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the underwriting agreement, we agreed to sell, in a public
offering, 3,000,000 of our common shares of beneficial interest, par value
$0.0001 per share, and we granted the underwriters an option to purchase up to
an additional 450,000 common shares to cover over-allotments. The
offering closed on June 30, 2008, and the underwriters exercised the full
overallotment option at the closing.
The
Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and
covenants by us. It also provides for customary indemnification by
each of the Underwriters and us for losses or damages arising out of or in
connection with the sale of the common shares.
The
offering is being made pursuant to our effective shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-121708) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange
