                  (i) The Employment Agreement provides that Ashner may
      terminate his employment thereunder with Good Reason (as defined therein)
      in the event that Lexington acquires or makes an Investment in Real

      Ashner shall have terminated the Employment Agreement for Good Reason, the
      "Reversion Date" under the amended Acquisition Agreement shall be the date

      party and all rights assigned to Newkirk pursuant to the Acquisition
      Agreement (and further assigned to Lexington as of the Effective Time

      delivered in connection therewith (including as a result of the assignment
      of the Exclusivity Assignment to Lexington as of the Effective Time) shall
      revert to the Company.

            3. In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in
Section 4 hereof, the Company hereby consents to Ashner entering into the
Employment Agreement at such time as the Merger is consummated.

            4. Ashner hereby covenants and agrees that:

                  (i) in the event that Ashner has the right to terminate his
      employment under the Employment Agreement for Good Reason due to the
      occurrence of a Nonconforming Investment Event, Ashner shall promptly (1)


                                       2


      resign and terminate his employment for Good Reason under the Employment
      Agreement, and shall take all steps necessary to effectuate such
      termination, including providing promptly to Lexington a Termination
      Notice specifying the Nonconforming Investment Event as the grounds for
      such termination, provided that in no event shall Ashner provide such
      Termination Notice to Lexington later than 90 days after the occurrence of
      a Nonconforming Investment Event, (2) resign as a trustee of Lexington,
      and (3) resign all of his positions with Lexington and its affiliated
      entities; provided, that if Ashner has received the consent of a majority
      of the independent trustees of the Board of Trustees of the Company with
      respect to a specific Nonconforming Investment Event, which consent may be
      granted or withheld in such trustee's sole discretion, Ashner shall not be
      obligated to take the actions provided in this subparagraph (i) with
      respect to said Nonconforming Investment Event.

                  (ii) he will not, without the prior written consent from a
      majority of the independent trustees of the Board of Trustees of the
      Company, which consent may be granted or withheld in such trustee's sole
      discretion, consent to any modification or amendment to the Employment
      Agreement from and after the date hereof that would have the effect of
      modifying the provisions thereof which directly or indirectly benefit the
      Company, including but not limited to an amendment that would: (1)
      adversely affect his ability to serve as the Chief Executive Officer and
      as a trustee of the Company, (2) modify Section 5(b)(ii) of the Employment
      Agreement or the procedure for termination for Good Reason, or (3) extend
      the time period for which the restrictive covenants in Section 7(a) of the
      Employment Agreement are applicable.

      5. In the event that any party threatens to take any action prohibited by
this Agreement, the parties agree that there may not be an adequate remedy at
law. Accordingly, in such an event, a party may seek and obtain preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief (without the necessity of posting any bond or
undertaking). Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and
shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this
Agreement or otherwise.

      6. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer
upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and
assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of
this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

      7. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York,
without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof.
