Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

          Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement dated as of May 22, 1996 (the
"Contribution Agreement"), Lexington Northwest Trust, a New York grantor trust
wholly owned by Lepercq Corporate Income Fund L.P. ("LCIF"), a real estate
partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware and a subsidiary
of Lexington Corporate Properties, Inc. (the "Registrant"), acquired a 295,000
square foot, four story office building and 600 car parking garage located in
Salt Lake City, Utah (the "Building") from Red Butte Creek Associates, a limited
partnership organized under the laws of the state of Utah ("Red Butte"), through
an exchange (the "Exchange") for LCIF partnership units (the "Units" and each a
"Unit").

          The Building is leased to Northwest Pipeline Corporation (the
"Tenant") under a triple net lease which expires on September 30, 2009 and is
subject to two renewal options for a total of 19 additional years. The Exchange
will not affect the terms of the Building lease. The land on which the Building
is located (the "Property") is owned by the University of Utah, which leases the
Property to the Tenant. The Tenant subleases the Property to the Registrant for
a term which is coextensive with the building lease.

          In connection with the Exchange, the Registrant effected the
following:

               (i) The Registrant transferred to Red Butte an aggregate of
     1,715,295 limited partnership Units in LCIF. Each Unit is exchangeable for
     one share of the Registrant's Common Stock (the "Common Stock") beginning
     May 22, 1998, and annually on each January 15 thereafter beginning on
     January 15, 1999. The holders of the Units will be entitled to quarterly
     cash distributions of $0.66 per Unit per annum, increasing to $1.08 per
     Unit per annum by January 1, 1998, subject to downward adjustments based on
     the annual dividend rate for shares of the Registrant's Common Stock. The
     number of LCIF Units exchanged for the Building was determined based on a
     valuation of the Building of $56,395,499 (determined based upon a
     discounting of the after-tax cash flow at approximately 6.5%, net of the
     Notes (as defined) assumed by Lexington Northwest Trust and taking into
     account amounts paid to The LCP Group, L.P. ("LCP") in connection with its
     management arrangements and its disposition fee).

               (ii) The Registrant agreed to assume two mortgage notes to which
     the Building is subject (the "Notes" and each a "Note"). The first Note had
     an outstanding principal balance of $13,951,288 on March 31, 1996, matures
     on October 1, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of 7.8676% per annum. The
     second Note had an outstanding principal balance of $23,446,355 on March
     31, 1996, matures on October 1, 2005 and bears interest at a rate of 12.9%
     per annum. The second Note may be refinanced on October 1, 1997.

               (iii) In addition to the Units transferred to Red Butte, the
     Registrant transferred to LCP and Richard J. Rouse, a principal of LCP,
     114,006 LCIF Units in exchange for LCP's contribution of its right to
     receive certain management fees that

                                       2
<PAGE>   3
     would have been payable had current management arrangements remained in
     effect and LCP's right to a 2% disposition fee upon the ultimate
     disposition of the Building. The Registrant also transferred to LCP 9,000
     shares of the Registrant's Common Stock, par value $.0001 per share, in
     exchange for accrued but unpaid management fees.

          Barnes Properties, Inc. and Barnshore Associates, the general partners
of Red Butte, are affiliates of the Registrant. Barnes Properties, Inc. is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of LCP, which is wholly-owned by E. Robert Roskind,
Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant and Chairman of the Registrant's
Board of Directors. Barnshore Associates is partly owned by Mr. Roskind and
Richard J. Rouse, Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Registrant and Vice-Chairman
of its Board of Directors.

hereof.

principles.

property, the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes,
all as of the time of determination. The Carrying Value of any property shall be

relating to the Partnership filed in the office of the Delaware Secretary of

Property for purposes of Exhibit B hereof, but shall be deemed an Adjusted
Property for such purposes.

the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery
deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year, except that if the

be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Carrying Value as the
federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction
for such year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however,
that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost
recovery deduction for such year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with
reference to such beginning Carrying Value using any reasonable method selected

                  C. Red Butte Limited Partners. Notwithstanding Section 5.1.A,
each Red Butte Limited Partner's share of Operating Cash Flow (other than The
LCP Group, L.P. and Richard J. Rouse) shall be limited to a cash distribution of
$0.165 per Partnership Unit per quarter ($0.66 per Partnership Unit per annum)
through January 1, 1998, increasing to $0.27 per Partnership Unit per quarter
($1.08 per Partnership Unit per annum) on and after January 1, 1998, provided,
that if LXP reduces its dividend below $1.08 then the distribution to which each
Red Butte Limited Partner is entitled shall be reduced by the percentage
reduction in the LXP dividend. The LCP Group, L.P. and Richard J. Rouse shall be
entitled to cash distributions of $0.27 per Partnership Unit per quarter ($1.08
per Partnership Unit per annum) commencing on the date hereof or

                  All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of
any state or local tax law and Section 10.5 hereof with respect to any

treated as amounts distributed to the Partners or the Assignees pursuant to
Section 5.1 for all purposes under this Agreement.

                  Section 5.3 Distributions Upon Liquidation

                  Proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction, and any other

                  Section 6.1 Allocations For Capital Account Purposes

                  For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in
determining the rights of the Partners among themselves, the Partnership's items
of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Exhibit B
hereof) shall be allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion
thereof) as provided herein below.

                  A. Net Income. After giving effect to the special allocations
set forth in Section 1 of Exhibit C, Net Income shall be allocated to the
General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests; provided, that following (i) the Effective Date and (ii)
the sale or other disposition (in which gain or loss is recognized) of real
properties representing at least fifty (50%) percent of the Carrying Value of
such properties as of the Effective Date, gains from the sale or other
disposition of partnership assets shall be allocated to the Partners other than
the Property Limited Partners, having negative Capital Accounts, to the extent
and in accordance with such negative Capital Accounts and thereafter to all
Partners in accordance with their

                                      -21-




<PAGE>   26



Percentage Interests; provided further, that, a Property Limited Partner shall
be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain prior to such
Property Limited Partner's applicable Redemption Exercise Date to the extent
such Property Limited Partner receives a cash distribution pursuant to Section
5.1; provided, further, that a Red Butte Limited Partner will be allocated
taxable income only in an amount equal to the cash distributions received.

                  B. Net Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations
set forth in Exhibit C, Net Losses shall be allocated first, to any Partner
having a positive Capital Account in accordance with and to the extent of such
positive Capital Account, and thereafter to the Limited Partners in accordance
with their respective Percentage Interests; provided, that, in no event shall
Property Limited Partners be allocated losses prior to such Property Limited
Partner's applicable Redemption Exercise Date; provided further, that, a portion
of the Partnership's allocable share of an Underlying Partnership's Depreciation
shall be allocated by the Partnership to the Property Limited Partners that
contributed the interests in such Underlying Partnership in an amount equal to
the product of the ratio of such Property Limited Partner's Partnership Units to
the total outstanding Partnership Units held by all Partners and the total
Depreciation attributable to the Underlying Partnership.

                  C. For purposes of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the
Partners agree that Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Partnership in excess of the
sum of the amount of Partnership Minimum Gain and the total amount of
Nonrecourse Built-in Gain shall be allocated first to account for any income or
gain to be allocated to the Property Limited Partners and the Red Butte Limited
Partners pursuant to Sections 2.B and 2.D of Exhibit C and then among the
Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

                  D. Any gains upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any
Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible, after taking into account other
required allocations of gain pursuant to Exhibit C that are characterized as
Recapture Income, be allocated to Partners in the same proportions and to the
same extent as such Partners have been allocated any deductions directly or
indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income.

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;

                           (3) the acquisition, disposition, mortgage, pledge,

foregoing subject to any prior approval only to the extent required by Section
7.3 hereof);

                           (4) the use of the assets of the Partnership for any
purpose consistent with the terms of this Agreement and on any terms the General
Partner sees fit, and the making of capital contributions or loans to its
Subsidiaries;

                           (5) the management, operation, leasing, landscaping,
repair, alteration, demolition or improvement of any real property or

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 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 an Additional Limited
Partner under any circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred
by such Additional Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the
General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement.

                  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

                                      -25-

Columbia, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.

                  Section 7.3 Restrictions on Authority

                  After the Effective Date, without the consent of holders of a
majority of the outstanding Partnership Units held by the Special Limited
Partners, the General Partner may not consent to the Partnership participating
in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another Person or
sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

                  Without the unanimous consent of the Red Butte Limited
Partners, the General Partner shall not dispose of its interest in the Red Butte
Property prior to January 1, 2001 except in the event of a foreclosure or in the
event that the General Partner determines that the failure to dispose of the Red
Butte Property would result in the disqualification of LXP as a real estate
investment trust under the Code. In addition, through January 1, 2001, the
General Partner shall not take any action that will result in a reduction in any
Limited Partner's share of nonrecourse liabilities attributable to the Limited
Partner's LCIF Units by an amount which would cause a taxable event to the
Limited Partners.

                  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. LXP and the General Partner shall be reimbursed on a
monthly basis, or such other basis as LXP may determine in its sole and absolute
discretion, for all expenses LXP incurs relating to the ownership and operation
of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership; provided that the amount of such
reimbursement shall be reduced by the product of (i) the Relative Interest and
(ii) any interest earned by LXP or the General Partner with respect to bank
accounts or other instruments or accounts held by either of them on behalf of
the Partnership as permitted in Section 7.5.A. Such reimbursements shall be in
addition to any reimbursement to LXP or the General Partner as a result of
indemnification pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof.

                                      -26-




<PAGE>   31




                  C. LXP shall also be reimbursed by the Partnership for the
product of (i) the Relative Interest and (ii) all expenses LXP incurs relating
to the reorganization of LXP, the Partnership, the General Partner and the
Limited Partner, and any other issuance of REIT Shares pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof.

                  D. In the event that LXP shall elect to purchase from
stockholders REIT Shares pursuant to any stock repurchase program or for the
purpose of delivering such REIT Shares to satisfy an obligation under Section
8.4 of this Agreement, any dividend reinvestment program adopted by LXP, any
employee stock purchase plan adopted by LXP, or any other similar obligation or
arrangement undertaken by LXP in the future, 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 to the extent of the
Partnership's Relative Interest and shall be reimbursed to LXP to such extent,
subject to the condition that, if such REIT Shares are sold, the General Partner
shall contribute to the Partnership, through the General or Limited Partner, any
proceeds received by the General Partner for such REIT Shares (provided that
REIT shares delivered to an Additional Limited Partner in exchange for
Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.4 shall not be considered a sale of REIT
Shares for such purpose).

                  Section 7.5 Outside Activities of and Participation in Other
Transactions by LXP and the General Partner

                  Without the consent of holders of a majority of the
outstanding Partnership Units held by the Special Limited Partners, LXP agrees
that, following the Effective Date, it will not (i) permit the General Partner
or the Initial Limited Partner to issue additional shares of capital stock, (ii)
assign, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer any outstanding shares
of capital stock in the General Partner or in the Initial Limited Partner, (iii)
permit the General Partner or the Initial Limited Partner to incur any
indebtedness or to engage in any business other than to hold and own the
Partnership Interests in the Partnership or (iv) allow or consent to any merger,
consolidation or other combination of the General Partner or the Initial Limited
Partner with or into another Person or the sale of all or substantially all of
its assets.

                  Section 7.6 Indemnification

                  A. The Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless each
Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
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 Mergers or to the
operations of the Partnership 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 that the Partnership shall not indemnify an Indemnitee for
such Indemnitee's breach of duty of loyalty to the Partnership or for acts or
omissions not taken by the Indemnitee in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law or in which such Indemnitee received an
improper personal benefit. 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 7.6 in favor of any
Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It
is the intention of this Section 7.6.A that the Partnership indemnify each
Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted under the Act. 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 7.6.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, creates
a rebuttable presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that
specified in this Section 7.6.A with respect to the subject matter of such
proceeding.

                  B. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a
party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of
the final disposition of the proceeding 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 Section 7.6.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.

                                      -28-




<PAGE>   33




                  C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.6 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.

                  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. 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.

                  F. The provisions of this Section 7.6 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 7.6 or any provision hereof
shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the
Partnership's liability to any Indemnitee 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.

                 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

                                      -29-




<PAGE>   34



affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited
Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

                  Section 8.2 Outside Activities of Additional Limited Partners

                  Neither the Partnership nor any Partners shall have any rights
by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Additional Limited
Partner or Assignee. None of the Additional 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 and the Initial Limited 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 Additional Limited Partner or any such other Person,
even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the
Partnership, any Additional 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.C, on or at any time after the
Effective Date, each Special Limited Partner shall have the right (the "Special
Limited Partner Redemption Right") to require the Partnership to redeem on a
Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such
Special Limited Partner for the Redemption Amount to be delivered by the
Partnership. The Special Limited Partner Redemption Right shall be exercised
pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner and LXP by
the Special Limited Partner who is exercising the Special Limited Partner
Redemption Right (the "Special Redeeming Partner"). A Special Limited Partner
may not exercise the Redemption Right for fewer than one thousand (1,000)
Partnership Units or, if such Special Limited Partner holds fewer than one
thousand (1,000) Partnership Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such
Special

                                      -30-




<PAGE>   35



Limited Partner. The Special 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 Special Limited Partner may
exercise the rights of such Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section
8.4, and such Special 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 Special Limited Partner's Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such
rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Special Limited Partner, the
Redemption Amount shall be delivered by the Partnership directly to such
Assignee and not to such Special Limited Partner.

                  B. Subject to Section 8.4.D, on the applicable Redemption
Exercise Date, or on each one year anniversary thereafter, each Property Limited
Partner shall have the right (the "Property Limited Partner Redemption Right")
to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all, but not
less than all, of the Partnership Units held by such Property Limited Partner
for the Redemption Amount to be delivered by the Partnership. The Property
Limited Partner Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of
Redemption delivered to the General Partner and LXP by the Property Limited
Partner who is exercising the redemption right (the "Property Redeeming
Partner"). The Property 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 Property Limited Partner may
exercise the rights of such Property Limited Partner pursuant to this Section
8.4.B., and such Property 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 Property Limited Partner's Assignee. In connection with any exercise of
such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Property Limited Partner, the
Redemption Amount shall be delivered by the Partnership directly to such
Assignee and not to such Property Limited Partner.

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.4.B, if
the Partnership disposes of its interest in an Underlying Partnership, or if an
Underlying Partnership disposes of substantially all of its assets, then the
General Partner shall provide prompt written notification to the Property
Limited Partners that contributed interests in such Underlying Partnership, and
each such Property Limited Partner may exercise its Property Limited Partner
Redemption Right on the last Business Day of

                                      -31-




<PAGE>   36



the calendar year in which such disposition occurs or, if later, ten (10)
Business Days following the consummation of such transaction.

                  C. LXP hereby agrees to enter into a Guaranty Agreement with
the Partnership on the Effective Date, on terms reasonably satisfactory to LXP
and the Partnership, pursuant to which LXP shall guaranty the obligations of the
Partnership under Sections 8.4.A and arrange for the delivery, if the
Partnership is unable, of the Redemption Amount on the Specified Redemption
Date, whereupon LXP or, if specified by LXP, the General Partner shall acquire
the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Special Redeeming Partner
and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such
Partnership Units. Each of the Special Redeeming Partner, LXP, the Partnership,
and the General Partner shall treat the transaction between LXP and the Special
Redeeming Partner as a sale of the Special Redeeming Partner's Partnership Units
to LXP or the General Partner, as the case may be, for federal income tax
purposes. Each Special Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as LXP
or the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of
REIT Shares upon exercise of the Special Limited Partner Redemption Right.

                  D. LXP hereby further agrees to enter into a Guaranty
Agreement with the Partnership on the Property Partners Closing Date, on terms
reasonably satisfactory to LXP and the Partnership, pursuant to which LXP shall
guaranty the obligations of the Partnership under Section 8.4.B to pay the
Redemption Amount on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the Partnership
shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Property
Redeeming Partner. Each Property Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such
documents as the Partnership may reasonably require in connection with the
issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Property Limited Partner Redemption
Right.

                  E. Following the date that at least 50% of the Partnership
Units held by the Special Limited Partners immediately following the Effective
Date have been redeemed in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.4, LXP or
the General Partner may require the remaining Special Limited Partners to redeem
their Partnership Units for the Redemption Amount to be delivered by the
Partnership. The right of LXP or the General Partner under this Section 8.4.E
shall be exercised pursuant to a notice delivered to all remaining Special
Limited Partners. Such redemption shall be effective on the date specified in
the notice, which date

                                      -32-




<PAGE>   37



shall be at least 30 days after the notice is sent to the Special Limited
Partners.

                  At any time that (i) LXP shall be considering a sale of all or
substantially all of its assets, or a merger, consolidation, stock issuance,
stock redemption or other similar transaction that would result in a change in
the beneficial ownership of LXP by 50% or more, or (ii) the Partnership shall be
considering a sale of all or substantially all of its assets or a merger,
consolidation, or issuance or redemption of partnership interests which would
result in a change in the beneficial ownership in LCIF capital or profits of 50%
or more, then the General Partner shall have the right to redeem the Partnership
Units held by all, but not less than all, of the Additional Limited Partners
(other than the Special Limited Partners) for the Redemption Amount provided
that such redemption is contingent upon the completion of such transaction. In
such event, the General Partner shall provide notice to the Limited Partners and
such Limited Partners shall be required to surrender their Partnership Units for
cancellation. The rights of such Additional Limited Partners shall be limited to
the receipt of the Redemption Amount.

                  F. In connection with any REIT Shares delivered to any
Additional Limited Partner upon the redemption of Partnership Units held by such
Additional Limited Partner, it is intended that such Additional Limited Partner
be able to resell publicly such REIT Shares pursuant to the provisions Rule 144
under the Securities Act of 1933, 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 Special Limited Partners representing a majority of the
Partnership Units (including REIT Shares delivered upon exchange of such
Partnership Units) held by such Special Limited Partners, or by Additional
Limited Partners representing a majority of the Partnership Units (including
REIT Shares delivered upon the exchange of such Partnership Units) held by such
class of Additional Limited Partners, to include REIT Shares that may be (or
already have been) acquired by any Special Limited Partner or any Additional
Limited Partner, as the case may be, 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

                                      -33-




<PAGE>   38



statement shall be conditioned upon Special Limited Partners representing a
majority of the Partnership Units (including REIT Shares delivered upon exchange
of such Partnership Units) held by such Special Limited Partners or, where
applicable, by Additional Limited Partners representing a majority of the
Partnership Units (including REIT Shares delivered upon the exchange of such
Partnership Units) held by such class of Additional Limited Partners, agreeing
to be bound by a customary registration rights agreements to be prepared by LXP.
In addition, any Additional 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.

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

                  H. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon
the occurrence of a Capital Event prior to the Redemption Exercise 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.H.

                  I. On May 22, 1998, and on each January 15 thereafter
beginning January 15, 1999, each Red Butte Limited Partner shall have the right
(the "Red Butte Limited Partner Redemption Right") to require the Partnership to
redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all, but not less than all, of the
Partnership Units held by a Red Butte Limited Partner for the Redemption Amount
to be delivered by the Partnership. The Red Butte Limited Partner Redemption
Right

                                      -34-




<PAGE>   39



shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General
Partner and LXP by the Red Butte Limited Partner who is exercising the
redemption right (the "Red Butte Redeeming Partner"). The Red Butte 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 Red Butte Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Red
Butte Limited Partner pursuant to the exercise of this Section 8.4.I, and such
Red Butte 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 Red Butte
Limited Partner's Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such rights by
such Assignee on behalf of such Red Butte Limited Partner, the Redemption Amount
shall be delivered by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such
Red Butte Limited Partner.

                  The Partnership hereby covenants not to dispose of its
interest in the Red Butte Property prior to January 1, 2001. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Partnership does dispose of its interest prior to May 22,
1998, then the General Partner shall provide prompt written notification to the
Red Butte Limited Partners of such disposition and each such Red Butte Limited
Partner may exercise its Red Butte Limited Partner Redemption Right on the last
Business Day of the calendar year in which such disposition occurs or, if later,
ten (10) Business Days following the consummation of such transaction.

                  LXP agrees to enter into a Guaranty Agreement with the
Partnership on the Red Butte Partners Closing Date, on terms reasonably
satisfactory to LXP and the Partnership, pursuant to which LXP shall guaranty
the obligations of the Partnership under this Section 8.4.I to pay the
Redemption Amount on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the Partnership
shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Red Butte
Redeeming Partner. Each Red Butte Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such
documents as the Partnership may reasonably require in connection with the
issuance of REIT shares upon exercise of the Red Butte Limited Partner
Redemption Right.

                  Section 9.1 Records and Accounting

                  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 9.2 Fiscal Year

                  The fiscal year of the Partnership shall be the calendar year.

                                   TAX MATTERS

                  Section 10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns

                  The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and
timely filing of all returns of Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses
and other items required of the Partnership for federal and state income tax
purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within ninety (90)
days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required
by the Additional Limited Partners for federal and state income tax reporting
purposes.

                  Section 10.2 Tax Elections

                  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 election 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

                                      -36-




<PAGE>   41



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 7.7 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 Additional Limited Partner hereby authorizes the
Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such
Additional 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 Additional
Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement. Any amount paid on behalf of or with
respect to an Additional Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the
Partnership to such Additional Limited Partner which loan shall be repaid by
such Additional 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
Additional Limited

                                      -37-




<PAGE>   42



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 Additional
Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or
(ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Additional 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.

                            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 an Additional Limited Partner or acquisition of
Partnership Units from an Additional Limited Partner by the General Partner
pursuant to Section 8.4.

                  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 and the Initial Limited Partner

                  A. The General Partner may not transfer any of its General
Partner Interest except to the Initial Limited Partner or to LXP. The General
Partner may not withdraw as General Partner except in connection with the
complete transfer of its Partnership Interest as permitted hereunder.

                                      -38-




<PAGE>   43



                  B. The Initial Limited Partner may not transfer any of its
Partnership Interests, except to the General Partner or to LXP. The Initial
Limited Partner may not withdraw as Initial Limited Partner except in connection
with the complete transfer of its Partnership Interest as permitted hereunder.

                  C. If LXP acquires any or all of the Partnership Interests of
the General Partner or the Initial Limited Partner as permitted hereunder, LXP
agrees that it will not transfer any of its Partnership Interests, except to the
Initial Limited Partner 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.

                  D. 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 Additional Limited Partners' Rights to Transfer

                  A. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.3.E, no Additional
Limited Partner shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of its
Partnership Interest, or any of such Additional Limited Partner's rights as a
Special Limited Partner, a Property Limited Partner, or a Red Butte Limited
Partner, as the case may be, 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 an Additional 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 an Additional Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity,
the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or
receiver of such Additional Limited Partner's estate shall have all the rights
of a Special Limited Partner, a Property Limited Partner, or a Red Butte Limited
Partner, as the case may be, but no more rights than those enjoyed by other
Special

                                      -39-




<PAGE>   44



Limited Partners, Property Limited Partners, or Red Butte Limited Partners, as
the case may be, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such
power as the Incapacitated Additional Limited Partner possessed to transfer all
or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of an Additional
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 an Additional 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 of 1933 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 Additional 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 by an Additional Limited Partner of its
Partnership Units may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal
counsel for the Partnership, it would result in the Partnership being treated as
an association taxable as a corporation or (ii) such transfer is 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.

                  E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.3.A (but
subject to the provisions of Section 11.3.C and 11.3.D), an Additional 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 or (c) a
partner in the Additional Limited Partner in a distribution by that Additional
Limited Partner to its partners under the partnership agreement of such
Additional Limited Partner or (ii) a lender as security for a loan made to or
guaranteed by the Additional Limited Partner, provided

                                      -40-




<PAGE>   45



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
Additional Limited Partner.

                  Section 11.4 Substituted Additional Limited Partners

                  A. No Additional 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 an
Additional 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 Additional Limited Partner under this Agreement.

                  C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Additional Limited
Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A, where applicable, 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

                                      -41-




<PAGE>   46



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
Additional 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 Special Limited Partners, Property Limited Partners, Red Butte
Limited Partners, or other Additional 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
Additional Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

                  Section 11.6 General Provisions

                  A. No Additional Limited Partner may withdraw from the
Partnership other than as a result of a permitted transfer of all of such
Additional 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 Additional Limited Partner who shall transfer all of
his Partnership Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 shall
cease to be an Additional Limited Partner upon the admission of an Assignee of
such Partnership Units as a Substituted Additional Limited Partners. Similarly,
any Additional 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 an Additional 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

                                      -42-




<PAGE>   47



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

                  After the Property Partners Closing Date, 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

                                      -43-




<PAGE>   48



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 Additional 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 Certi- ficate 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 (including an amendment of Exhibit A)
and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate.

                                   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. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General
Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall
dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of
the following ("Liquidating Events"):

                  A. the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.5
hereof;

                  B. 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

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);

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

                  D. 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

                  A. Except as provided in this Section 13.3, 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.

                  B. Subject to Section 13.3.C, if any Special Limited Partner
on the date of the "liquidation" of his respective interest in the Partnership
(within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), including a
redemption under Section 8.4, would, following a hypothetical sale of
Partnership assets and the liquidation of the Partnership, have a negative
balance in his Capital Account, then such Special Limited Partner shall
contribute in cash to the capital of the Partnership the amount required to
increase his Capital Account as of such date to zero. Any such contribution
required of such Special Limited Partner hereunder shall be made on or before
the later of (i) the end of the Partnership Year in which the interest of such
Special Limited Partner is liquidated or (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day following
the date of such liquidation.

                  C. After the death of a Special Limited Partner, the executor
of the estate of such Special Limited Partner may elect to reduce (or eliminate)
the deficit Capital Account restoration obligation of such Special Limited
Partner. Pursuant to Section 13.3.B. such election may be made by such executor
by delivering to the General Partner within two hundred seventy (270) days of
the death of such Special Limited Partner a written notice setting forth the
maximum deficit balance in his Capital Account that such executor agrees to
restore under Section 13.3.B, if any. If such executor does not make a timely
election pursuant to this Section 13.3.C (whether or not the balance in his
Capital Account is negative at such time), then a Special Limited Partner's
estate (and the beneficiaries thereof who receive distribution of Partnership
Units therefrom) shall be deemed to have a deficit Capital Account restoration
obligation as set forth pursuant to the terms of Section 13.3.B.

                  Section 13.4 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the
event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership's
property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership's liabilities shall not be
paid or discharged, and the Partnership's affairs shall not be wound up.
Instead, for federal income tax purposes and for purposes of maintaining Capital
Accounts pursuant to Exhibit B hereto, the Partnership shall be deemed to have
distributed the property in kind to the Partners, who shall be deemed to have
assumed and taken such property subject to all Partnership liabilities, all in
accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. Immediately thereafter, the
General Partner and Limited Partners shall be deemed to have recontributed the
Partnership property in kind to the Partnership, which shall be deemed to have
assumed and taken such property subject to all such liabilities.

                  Section 13.5 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.

                  Section 13.6 Waiver of Partition

                  Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the
Partnership property.

                  Section 14.1 Amendments

                  A. This Agreement may be amended with the consent of the
General Partner, the Initial Limited Partner, and the Special Limited Partners
representing a majority of Partnership Units held by such Special Limited
Partners, but such amendments shall not require the approval of any Additional
Limited Partners other than the Special Limited Partners.

                  B. Notwithstanding Section 14.1.A, the General Partner shall
have the power, without the consent of any other Partner to amend this Agreement
as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes:

                           (1) to add to the obligations of the General Partner
or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate
of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners;

                           (2) to reflect the admission, substitution,
termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement;

                           (3) to set forth the designation, rights, powers,
duties, and preferences of the holders of any additional Partnership Interests
issued pursuant to Section 4.2.A hereof;

                           (4) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential
nature and does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material
respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this
Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other
changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be
inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement; and

                           (5) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or
guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion,

ruling, or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or
state law.

The General Partner shall provide notice to the other Partners when any action
under this Section 14.1.B is taken.

                           C. Notwithstanding Sections 14.1.A and 14.1.B hereof,
this Agreement shall not be amended without the consent of each Partner
adversely affected if such amendment would (i) convert a Limited Partner's
interest in the Partnership into a general partner interest, (ii) modify the
limited liability of a Limited Partner in a manner adverse to such Partner,
(iii) alter or modify the Redemption Right and REIT Shares Amount as set forth
in Section 8.4 in a manner adverse to such Partner, or (iv) amend this Section
14.1.C. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General
Partner's authority set forth in Section 7.3 without the consent specified in
that section.

                                   ARTICLE 15

herein to Partnership Units held by the General Partner, a Special Limited

                                    EXHIBIT B

                           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 C 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 C 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).

                                      -B-1-




<PAGE>   68



                           (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.

                           (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 C 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; provided that if the transfer causes a termination of the
Partnership under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, the Partnership's properties
shall be deemed, solely for federal income tax purposes, to have been
distributed in liquidation of the Partnership to the holders of Partnership
Units (including such transferee) and recontributed by such Persons in
reconstitution of the Partnership. In such event, the Carrying Values of the
Partnership properties shall be adjusted immediately prior to such deemed
distribution pursuant to Section 1.D.(2) hereof. The Capital Accounts of such
reconstituted Partnership shall be maintained in accordance with the principles
of this Exhibit B.

                  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 of the adjustments provided in Section 1.D.(2) hereto, as if such
Unrealized

                                      -B-2-




<PAGE>   69



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 shall be made 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); provided that adjustments pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b) above shall be made only if the General Partner determines
that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative
economic interests of the Partners in the Partnership.

                           (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 B, 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 B
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 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

                                      -B-3-

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.

                                    EXHIBIT C

                            SPECIAL ALLOCATION RULES

1.            Special Allocation Rules

                  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement or this
Exhibit C, 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 C, 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
1.A is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and for purposes of this Section 1.A 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 C (except Section 1.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

                                     -C-1-



<PAGE>   72



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 C
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 1.A and 1.B hereof, such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit, items of Partnership income and gain shall be specifically allocated to
such 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. If the General Partner determines in its good
faith discretion that Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year must be
allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the
Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the General Partner is
authorized, upon notice to the Initial Limited Partner and the Limited Partners,
to revise the prescribed ratio for such Partnership Year to the numerically
closest ratio which does satisfy such requirements.

                  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

                                      -C-2-




<PAGE>   73



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 C.

                  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 C.

                               (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 B
                      and

                                        (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 C; and

                                        (b) any item of Residual Gain or
                      Residual Loss attributable to an Adjusted Property shall 
                      be allocated among the Partners in the same

                                      -C-3-




<PAGE>   74



              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 C.

                           (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 C.

                  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 recognized by the General Partner upon a disposition by
the Partnership of any Contributed Property or Adjusted Property does 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, except as otherwise set
forth in this Section 2.D of Exhibit C, a Property Limited Partner shall not be
allocated any items of Partnership income or gain prior to such Property Limited
Partner's applicable Redemption Exercise Date (or such earlier date as a
Property Limited Partner is entitled to exercise its Property Limited Partner
Redemption Right under the second paragraph of Section 8.4.B). Items of income
or gain may be specially allocated to certain limited partners pursuant to
Section 6.1.A. Items of Depreciation shall be allocated to the Property Limited
Partners only to the extent of such Property Limited Partner's Percentage
Interest multiplied by the total book depreciation allocated to the Partnership
by the Underlying Partnership contributed by such Property Limited Partner, with
corresponding tax items allocable to such Property Limited Partner under
principles set forth in Section 2.B of this Exhibit C. Income and gain
recognized on a sale by the Partnership of an interest in an Underlying
Partnership, or the sale by an

                                      -C-4-




<PAGE>   75



Underlying Partnership of an interest in its assets, shall be allocated first to
the Property Limited Partners that contributed the interests in such Underlying
Partnership to the Partnership, in an amount necessary to eliminate the Book-Tax
Disparity in such Property Limited Partner's Capital Account, and then in
accordance with such Partners' Percentage Interest. The Partnership shall make a
curative allocation of income and gain in the taxable year of the Partnership in
which a Property Limited Partner exercises its Redemption Right set forth in
Section 8.4.B of this Agreement, or in any other taxable year in which a
Property Limited Partner's interest in LCIF is liquidated. Such curative
allocation of income and gain shall provide that items of Partnership taxable
income or gain will be allocated to such Property Limited Partner, and items of
Partnership book income or gain will be allocated to Partners other than the
Property Limited Partners, to the extent necessary to eliminate the Property
Limited Partner's remaining Book-Tax Disparity immediately prior to the exercise
of the Redemption Right.

May 23, 1996


         LEXINGTON CORPORATE PROPERTIES, INC. ACQUIRES HEADQUARTERS OF
                         NORTHWEST PIPELINE CORPORATION


New York, NY (May 23, 1996) -- Lexington Corporate Properties, Inc. (NYSE:
LXP), a real estate investment trust, announced today that the Company has
acquired the headquarters of Northwest Pipeline Corporation for $59.0 million,
consisting of the assumption of $37.4 million of first mortgage debt and the
issuance of $21.5 million of partnership interests in one of Lexington's
subsidiary partnerships and 9,000 shares of Lexington common stock.

THE PROPERTY
- ------------

The property, a 295,000 square foot, four story, Class-A office building and a
600 car parking garage located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is 100% occupied by
Northwest Pipeline Corporation. The senior unsecured debt of Northwest Pipeline
is currently rated BBB by Standard & Poors and Baa1 by Moody's.

The property is subject to a net lease which extends until September 30, 2009,
subject to two renewal options  for a total of 19 years and is located on land
leased through September 17, 2018, subject to a ten year renewal option. During
1996, the property is expected to generate approximately $8.16 million of
rental revenue, net of payments under the land lease.

The property is subject to two mortgage notes which have a total outstanding
principal balance of approximately $37.4 million. The first note has an
outstanding principal balance of approximately $14.0 million, bears interest at
7.87% per annum and requires quarterly debt service payments of $524,724 which
will fully amortize the first note at maturity on October 1, 2005. The second
note has an outstanding principal balance of approximately $23.4 million, bears
interest at 12.9% per annum and requires quarterly debt service payments of
$1,079,200 which will fully amortize the second note balance at maturity on
October 1, 2005. The second note may be prepaid commencing on October 1, 1997,
subject to a 4.75% prepayment penalty.

The annual net rent generated from the property in 1996 of $8.16 million will
exceed the total debt-service payments of $6.42 million by $1.74 million.

THE EXCHANGE

The transaction was effected as an exchange of property for approximately
1,715,300 units in one of Lexington's subsidiary partnerships. The holders of
the units will receive quarterly distributions of $.165 per unit through 1997
and $.27 per unit thereafter. Annual distributions to such unitholders will
approximate $1.13 million through 1997 and $1.85 million commencing in 1998.
The units become exchangeable for Lexington common stock, on a one-for-one
basis, beginning on the second anniversary of the transaction.

In addition, 114,006 units and 9,000 shares of Lexington common stock were
issued in exchange for the contribution of certain contractual rights. These
units and the stock will require additional distributions of approximately
$133,000 per year.

Lexington Corporate Properties, Inc. is a self-managed and self administered
real estate investment trust that owns and manages a diverse portfolio of 29
triple-net-lease properties, and minority interests in two additional
properties, which are located in 18 states, including warehouses, distribution
centers, manufacturing facilities and office and retail properties. Shares of
Lexington common stock closed Wednesday, May 22, 1996, at $11.75 per share.
Lexington, which pays a current annual dividend of $1.08 per share, has
approximately 9.37 million shares outstanding and approximately 2.16 million
operating partnership units outstanding which are exchangeable into common
stock on a one-for-one basis at certain points in the future.
