The notes will have the same interest rate and other terms as the previously issued $300.0 million principal amount of The Lexington Master Limited Partnership's 5.45% exchangeable guaranteed notes due 2027. The notes will be unsecured obligations of The Lexington Master Limited Partnership and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Lexington and certain of its subsidiaries.

The notes will be exchangeable into cash and Lexington common shares at any time on or after January 15, 2026 and prior to the close of business on the second business day prior to the stated maturity date and also earlier upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The notes will be exchangeable into cash up to their principal amount and, at The Lexington Master Limited Partnership's option, cash, Lexington common shares or a combination of cash and Lexington common shares with respect to the remainder, if any, of the exchange value in excess of such principal amount. The initial exchange rate for each $1,000 principal amount of notes will be 39.6071 of Lexington common shares, representing an initial exchange price of approximately $25.25 per Lexington common share and an exchange premium of approximately 26.1% based on the last reported sale price of $20.02 per Lexington common share on March 5, 2007.

The Lexington Master Limited Partnership expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes to repay indebtedness under its secured credit facility. As of March 5, 2007, $196.9 million was outstanding under the secured credit facility, which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points and matures in August 2008, subject to two one-year extensions.

In connection with the $150.0 million notes offering by The Lexington Master Limited Partnership, Lexington announced its intention to increase the amount of Lexington common shares it intends to repurchase from purchasers of the notes from up to 1.75 million Lexington common shares to up to 2.1 million Lexington common shares. Repurchases will be made using Lexington's own cash balances.

The notes will be sold to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The notes, the Lexington common shares issuable upon exchange of the notes, if any, and the guaranties have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state laws.
